The API is GetVolumeInformation (GetVolumeInformationA for 32-bit
calls). However, Visual Basic (and VBA) does not interface correctly
with this function, so I have written a dll in Visual C++ designed to
be called from VB and VBA code that returns the disk serial number (I
don't return the label because I don't use it, but the dll can be
easily modified to do this). In other words, VB/VBA calls my dll which
calls the API, etc., and returns the data correctly. If you (or anyone
else) would like a copy of the source code, or of the binary if you
don't have a VCPP compiler, send me e-mail and I'll be glad to give it
to you.

Casi seguro que te has equivocado de area al poner este mensaje (lo
digo por el idioma), de todos modos creo que te puedo responder....

No existe ninguna funcion del api para averiguar la etiqueta ni el
numero de serie de un disco. En el caso de la etiqueta, se puede usar
una llamada a la int 21h del DOS (funcion 4Eh), y para averiguar el
numerio de serie creo que la nica solucion es leer el primer sector
del disco (con la int 13h de la bios).

What do you mean ?? vb does not interface the function correctly ?
I have used it many times and i have no problems with getvolumeinformation
What was your problem then ??

Pedro, speak ENGLISH. And by the way, you don't have to use DOS
interrupts to get this info.

The appropriately named "White"head fires the shot in a personal
little war he wants to get into.

Don't worry Chris: we're all ignoring you.

Ah, David. There was nothing personal in the return mail. I just happen
to find it very rude to reply using a language which may not be
comprehensible to the question's initiator. If the language is
incomprehensible, the reply may as well be gibberish. Are you with me so
far? The initiator's original question was phrased in English.
Therefore, I would consider the response to be phrased in English as this
was the language used. I haven't lost you so far, have I? Good, we are
almost at the end of the tunnel.

Finally, the "appropriately named" Whitehead is American Indian, not
"White". What amazes me is that we have this new form of information
exchange and something as ignorant as prejudice is introduced. How
pathetic.

You have all my blessings. Ignore away!!!!
