Hi Jim,

I have an access to folders on this server, I see them from my local Windows 95 machine. When I check properties of this server from my machine, it shows 2GB free and total (which is incorrect). George's function also returns incorrect result.

Now I go to the server box and do the same operations. I see the correct result in Windows Explorer and George's function also returns the correct result (though I have to re-check it again). So, it's clearly a Windows 95 problem.

>>I'll try WSH. In Windows Explorer right click on Drive and I see 2GB. For another server drive, which is 18GB, I see the correct results (3.3GB free and 18GB total). This drive is 64GB and it showed incorrectly on my Windows 95. On the server itself clicking in WE gives the correct result. The function also works correctly. So, this API function could not deal with 64GB drives on Windows 95.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
