Error 70 Trying to Access "System Volume Information" Folder

M

Matt Donningly

If this is not he correct group for this, I apologize.

I'm working on a Macro where I want to allow the users to choose which
directory they want to save their attachments. I have a form with a
TreeView control that shows the users the drives they have access to on
their computer (root is "My Computer".

When I test the macro and I expand the C: drive, I noticed the "System
Volume Information" folder, which is apparently a hidden system folder.
When I clicked on the folder, I get error 70.

My question is, how do I populate the Treeview control without
referencing these types of folders?


By the way, this folder is not normally visible in an Explorer window.
You have to go in Tools...Folder Options, click on the view tab and
select "Hide protected operating system files" to enable it. Even then,
it still doesn't allow me to access the contents.
