Pat, PL> Courtesy a guru I know in Nacogdoches, Texas, now we PL> know the Win 2K/XP tape analogue of the \\.\A: \\.\B: of PL> disks & cd-roms ... is \\.\TAPE0 \\.\TAPE1 ... As a matter of fact, you should never rely on the fact that the series begins at 0 and continues without empty slots. All new hot-pluggable hardware devices (I don't know whether such tape drives exist, but it is definitively the case for physicaldisk0, etc.) can occupy a slot and, when removed, leave the slot empty. Looping on tapex from 0 to 9 would be a good safety measure. In my code, where I have to do that for physical drives, I even go up to 26 (== Z:), albeit I never personally saw a physicaldrive10 or more. -- Best Regards Pierre Duhem Logiciels & Services Duhem, Paris (France) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
