There is - there's an API to do it.  Not done this for a long while now, but
I remember using a huge VB app with a database that lived on the CD; a bit
like a rudimentary CD key.  Anyhoo:

This'll give you all the info.

To all,
Is there a way of detecting via VBA or VB code the drive letter of the CD on
a PC ?
Thanks in advance for any help on this
