A lot of what we do here requires a lot of 3 1/2 floppies. It would be nice
if they could format a floppy disk in our software instaed of using windows
explorer.

Does anyone have the API call and code need to use the windows "format"
window.
windows explorer-->right click on A:\
Select format

This is the window I would like to use. mostly because they have used it so
much.

Never used this, but it may be worth a look:

Thanks. This looks interesting.

I wonder why Microsoft does not document it???
