Greetings!

I found dspace() which does what I want when I have a mapped Drive letter. However, I want to use a share. (\\rainbow\mediafiles).

Is there a way to get the available space on a share? Or, is there a way to (within BASIC+) to map a share and then call dspace()?

Have fun,

Paxton

There are methods to map the drive letter so you can call dspace(). Another method is to use VBScript and query the share directly. Here is a BASIC+ code example that uses the Scripting.FileSystemObject control:

WScript=oleCreateInstance("ScriptControl")

OlePutProperty(wscript, "Language", "VBScript")

drvPath=\\servername\share name\" ;*Drive or Share Name to check for Freespace

;*Returns the free space of drvPath in bytes.

RetVal=WScript-]Eval('CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetDrive(CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetDriveName("' : drvPath : '")).FreeSpace')
