The GetDriveName method syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
path	Required. The path specification for the component whose drive name is to be returned.

Remarks

The GetDriveName method returns a zero-length string ("") if the drive can't be determined.
