computer driver ?

[kitnba]

How can I detect the computer have the F: or not ?
I want to check the computer is in network or not, and then If have network, I will use the f:\file otherwise will use the c:\files.
After I login novell, I will map the driver F for the sever. If I in home, I will not have the driver F only have driver c.

Can I do that?

Hi!

Use DIRECTORY() function:
directoy('C:\') = .T.
directory('Q:\') = .F. && does not exists.

Hi!

Hmm, try to trap error and access this directory by some means. For example:

local llError, lcOldError
lcOldError = ON("ERROR&quot
ON ERROR m.llError = .T.
m.llError = .F.

create table ("F:\aaa&quot (IDDF I)
if !m.llError && no error occurred
&& clean up it
use in aaa
erase ("F:\aaa.dbf&quot
endif

&& restore error handler
ON ERROR &lcOldError
&& now llError contains .T. if F:\ does not exists.

Hope this works, did not tried its but you should get an general idea.

Or you can use the ADIR() function

for I = 65 to 90
= adir(LA_FIELDS,chr(I)+":","V&quot
if ! empty(LA_FIELDS(1))
......
endif
endfor
