My program needs to determine whether a given path points to a local disk drive or a network drive. I thought of simply looking for two slash marks at the beginning of the string, e.g., at("\\",m.string)<>0, but if the network directory had been assigned to a drive letter (e.g., d:), the expression would evaluate false.

Is there an API call or any other means of determining this?

Thanks.
