Description
Returns the amount of space available to a user on the specified drive or network share.
Syntax
object.AvailableSpace

The object is always a Drive object.

Remarks
The value returned by the AvailableSpace property is typically the same as that returned by the FreeSpace property. Differences may occur between the two for computer systems that support quotas.

The following code illustrates the use of the AvailableSpace property:

Function ShowAvailableSpace(drvPath)
  Dim fso, d, s
  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  Set d = fso.GetDrive(fso.GetDriveName(drvPath))
  s = "Drive " & UCase(drvPath) & " - " 
  s = s & d.VolumeName  & "<BR>"
  s = s & "Available Space: " & FormatNumber(d.AvailableSpace/1024, 0) 
  s = s & " Kbytes"
  ShowAvailableSpace = s
End Function
