When I access a drive using C or C++ on a windows machine can I determine
if it is a local or network drive? If so how.

Thanks and have a great day

Use
UINT GetDriveType(
LPCTSTR lpRootPathName
);

Network Drive is a return value of "DRIVE_REMOTE".

Other return values are listed, check in the online help for your specifics.
