Hi,
I'm officially confounded. I tried the code supplied by Luke it detects
winME. I put exactly the same code in my application and it detects
win98 every time. I tried both baVersion("windows") and baVersion
("os") with the same results. Have I entered the dark zone or is there
something that could be causing this?
I would try (the environment).osVersion, but frankly I don't know how to
use it. I will have to look it up somewhere.
My application is a CD that is time specific i.e. it gets replaced every
semester. However you are right I should be checking for other OS's.
Thanks
Liz
