> Part | Description
> object | Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
> drivespec | Required. A drive letter or a complete path specification.

> >       If fso.DriveExists(drv) Then
> >         msg = ("Drive " & UCase(drv) & " exists.")
> >       Else
> >         msg = ("Drive " & UCase(drv) & " doesn't exist.")
> >       End If
> >       ReportDriveStatus = msg
> >     End Function
