How to eject removable devices

Expand Post »

Hi, I want to know how can I eject a removable device. The device is assumed to be a USB memory stick and comes on a E drive so therefore I would like to safely remove the E drive when the user log off! The code for log off is as follows

Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
If UnloadMode = vbAppWindows Then ' // Windows Is Shutting Down
' //
Cont = MsgBox(" Windows Is Shutting down! Good Bye?", vbYesNo)
If Cont = vbYes Then

I need to safely eject the E drive here can any one help thanks in advance
