Here is a very useful utility that shows you how much disk space you have left. It also will copy the date and time or both to the clipboard. This works better if you are running several vb apps at once because of the large vbrun100.dll involved in overhead. I have included the source to the QuickC for windows code because it gave me much agrivation. The problem was caused by demotions and promotions in the type casting of the variables. The union is probly not necisary but I was trying every thing to make it work. Please note that this program was written using Visual Basic which means that you must have the vbrun100.dll. If you have any questions leave me some mail I'll try to answer them; or If you need help writting dll's for VB or some other windows program. Paul James Barrett CIS# 71020,2624
