Return values:

Strings

Parameter

Text: Any string expression that specifies an existing drive (for example, "C" for the first partition of the first hard drive).

If no drive is specified or if the drive is a zero-length string (""), CurDir returns the path for the current drive.

This function is not case-sensitive.
