Question : Using VBA to check if a network drive is available

Does anyone know what code to use to check if a mapped network drive is available?

I need to check availability before running replication

Many thanks

Answer : Using VBA to check if a network drive is available

It should validate that it's connected.

If it doesn't you can also validate folders and files within the drive with these...

Function fn_validate_directory(ByVal strPath As String, ByVal bCreate) As Boolean

'Attempt to find a directory.
'  Returns TRUE if found, FALSE if not found.
'  Returns TRUE if user passed bCreate = True and code created the directory.

Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Select Case fso.FolderExists(fso.GetParentFolderName(strPath))
    Case True
        fn_validate_directory = True
        Exit Function
    Case False
        If bCreate Then
            fso.CreateFolder (fso.GetParentFolderName(strPath))
            fn_validate_directory = True
        Else
            fn_validate_directory = False
        End If
End Select

Set fso = Nothing

End Function


Function fn_validate_file(ByVal sFile As String) As Boolean

Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

fn_validate_file = fso.FileExists(sFile)

Set fso = Nothing

End Function
