Object not set to an Instance of an Object

dumbestcrayon · #1 09-07-2010, 09:20 AM

Okay, My program gathers the drive information of the mounted drives and sets one of them as the location to save their information. For some reason I'm not getting any error while debugging but almost everybody gets an error when I publish the program. Here is the error I get followed by the lines of code where the error occurs. I am not seeing where I haven't set an Object as an instance. Many thanks in advance for the help..

:::Error:::

Code:
