    Set fso  = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    Set disk = fso.GetDrive(Source)

    Level = (disk.AvailableSpace / (1024 * 1024 * 1024))

    If (CDbl(Level) < CDbl(Minimum)) or (CDbl(Level) > CDbl(Maximum)) Then
        Tripped = True
    Else
        Tripped = False
    End If

End Sub
