Named Arguments

No

Syntax

CurDir[(drive)]

drive

Use: Optional

Data Type: String

The name of the drive.

Return Value

The current path.

Description

Returns a Variant of subtype String representing the current path.

Rules at a Glance

  • If no drive is specified or if drive is a zero-length string (""), CurDir returns the path for the current drive.

  • drive can be the single-letter drive name with or without a colon (i.e., both "C" and "C:" are valid values for drive).

  • If drive is invalid, the function generates runtime error 68, "Device unavailable."

  • Because CurDir can accept only a single character string, you can't use network drive names, share names, or UNC drive names.
