>I am in VFP 3 on Windows 3 platform. How can I check to see if the floppy drive is ready from within my application. The users are loading from disks and I want to make sure they don't get the ugly Windows generated CANNOT READ FROM DRIVE error.

Try this code it will work with no error from VFP

if ! file("A:\nul")
wait "no disk" window
else
wait "disk present" window
endif
