I've only just begun to come into contact with API calls, and so I must apologise if this is a very simple one.

I have a database which access data from a CD-Rom and so, in order for the database to work, the PC on which the front end is running must have a CD-Rom drive. I've got around this one by using the GetDriveType API call for each of the drive strings returned from GetLogicalDriveStrings. This is fine..

However, I now find that I am facing the problem whereby, if the user is connected to a network CD-Rom drive, the drive type is Network Connection. I have found out that the File System Type differs.
I.e. NTFS, OS2, CDFS

How do I use an API call to retrieve the File System Type of a Network drive?
