The msgbox displays each drive and sharename
The textarea only displays the last drive and sharename
   this always bugs me...

I'm not sure what is best to use an Array or Dictionary

use a dictionary if you need a collection of items accessible by (string) key ('name')

use an array if you need a collection of items accessible by (numerical) index ('number')

use neither if all you need is a couple of lines in a textarea:

   DispDrives.value = DispDrives.value & vbCrLf & "Drive: " & objDrive.path & " - " & objDrive.sharename

Keep it simple!

Status: offline 		That is the best explanation of when to use an Array or Dictionary I've ever read.

Text use a Dictionary
Numeric use and Array

Thanks so much!

The solution is the "couple lines in a textarea" and it works great.

Thanks again.
