What I want to do is create a drop list of available drives. Then I would have two buttons. one cancels and the other selects the drive. If the select a drive then it would be saved to a table. The object is to let users select where they want to backup either the tables or they files used by the system, or both.

>I haven't used zip drives in a few years now although I used to use them regularly. How are they identified in windows explorer? There are apis you can run that will bring back more information on the drive or volume that you may wish to research.

>As to how to make the array the source for the combobox in the form, the best way to do that depends on what you want to do with the value returned. In other words, if the user selects c: from the combobox, do you want them to see the volume information but return only the drive letter and a colon or something like c:\ or what? What will you do with the return value?
