MAPPED DRIVE VOLUME NUMBER

[teknik]

Hi,
Is there any method to get the volume number of the mapped network drive ? for eg from Comp2 the D drive of Comp1 is mapped to H:. We want the volume number of H drive ie the D drive on Comp1

Thanks in advance

? sys(5)

Or if you have a file on the server :

SET LIBRARY TO "FOXTOOLS.FLL" ADDITIVE
cDriveLetter = JUSTDRIVE("h:\myText.txt&quot
? cDriveLetter

Thanks for the reply.

But what we are looking for is the Volume Serial Number of the mapped drive. As per the example given above when I run my VFP application from Comp2 I want the Volume Serial Number of the drive mapped to Comp1 (which has the data used by the VFP application).

Maybe this is what you are looking for:

You can use the following code for finding the volume serial number of floppy disk and hard disk



*You can use the following code for finding the volume serial number of floppy disk and hard disk
hd=allt(sys(5))
fpno = '!vol '+hd + ' > '+hd+'\'+'fp.txt'
&fpno
mfile1 = hd + '\fp.txt'
mfile2 = hd + '\temp.dbf'
sele 1
create table &mfile2 (desc c(80))
appe from &mfile1 sdf
dele all for recno() # 3
pack
volserialno = allt(substR(desc,25,65))
use
dele file &mfile2
dele file &mfile1
messagebox(volserialno)

I suggest that you ask that question on the window api forum. once you get what api call would provide the info check on site

http://www.news2news.com/vfp/?group=34&=0

to locate the useage in vfp.
or post it back here, I will help in providing the correct usage in fox. Attitude is Everything

Assuming the OS of the mapped drive system respects WinAPI requests (I've found some OS's that don't), try
