DRIVETYPE () function question

[IRABYY]

Colleagues:

quick question: have any of you ever gotten DRIVETYPE(cPath) function's return CD/DVD-ROM type (=5) from a network drive which is not CD/DVD-ROM? Could that happen with some non-convetional type of storage (not IDE or SCSI)?

AHWBGA.

Ilya,
No, but what OS is the drive running under? Remember this is one of those thinly wrappered Win API functions (specifically GetDriveType()), and VFP just reports what the system returns.

rgbean (Programmer): what OS is the drive running under?

That's exactly the question I asked our Ops. manager there. He did not know and was going to ask customer.

I just know that there are some kind of "optical drive storage" out there, whatever it is... But it shan't return 5 if it's suposed to act as regular magnetic media, shall it?
