Thanks anyway Frank, but that code doesn't reveal the elusive MP3
player either. These devices have drivers that can access them, so I
would think that VB6 would have some way to access them too. It seems
that this is a bite that is too big for VB6 to chew. However, I am
continuing to search this great world wide web of ours for a solution,
and will still try all suggestions that you guys throw my way. Thank
you all for trying to help. Please keep trying.

Not sure, but at a quick read this might help in at least detecting
the device and getting a friendly name for it. There may be some other
functions there to read up on. How is your C to VB conversion ? :)
It doesn't look too hard, but that's famous last words.

URL may wrap.

I used to know 'C', but it's been a while and I'm kinda rusty, but I am
looking at the link you gave me to see if/how to convert to VB6.
Thanks.

I couldn't make anything happen with the 'C' to 'VB6' converting. I'm
just bummed that VB can't do what I need to make a really cool program
that's in my head, that will never be in my computer. I've seen some
pretty powerful applications made in VB that I would never have thought
VB could do, so I assumed that this should be possible too. Oh well,
thanks anyway for all you guys help.

I was wondering if I'd have to somehow access a driver or something,
but that seems way to difficult for me. Hasn't anybody accessed a
digital camera or MP3 player using VB code? This just has to be
possible.
