Get Device Name using QueryDosDeviceW

Private Declare Function QueryDosDeviceW Lib "kernel32.dll" ( _
ByVal lpDeviceName As Long, _
ByVal lpTargetPath As Long, _
ByVal ucchMax As Long _
) As Long
Const MAX_PATH = 260


Public Function GetNtDeviceName( _
ByVal sDrive As String) As String

Dim bDrive() As Byte
Dim bResult() As Byte
Dim lR As Long
Dim sDeviceName As String

If Right(sDrive, 1) = "\" Then
If Len(sDrive) > 1 Then
sDrive = Left(sDrive, Len(sDrive) - 1)
End If
End If
bDrive = sDrive

ReDim Preserve bDrive(0 To UBound(bDrive) + 2) As Byte
ReDim bResult(0 To MAX_PATH * 2 + 1) As Byte

lR = QueryDosDeviceW(VarPtr(bDrive(0)), VarPtr(bResult(0)), MAX_PATH)
If (lR > 2) Then
sDeviceName = bResult
sDeviceName = Left(sDeviceName, lR - 2)
GetNtDeviceName = sDeviceName
End If

End Function

Sub Trial()
MsgBox GetNtDeviceName("p:")
