Any ideas on how to determine what version of windows is
being run, and what the system root directory is?

e.g. c:\winnt OR c:\windows etc.

Thanks

Jack
 
Hi Jack

Environ("windir") will return the windows directory

and

Application.OperatingSystem will return the version of windows

eg msgbox(environ("windir"))
or msgbox(application.operatingsystem)

... the system root directory is?

Would any ideas here help?

Sub Demo()
Const WindowsFolder = 0
Const SystemFolder = 1
Const TemporaryFolder = 2

With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Debug.Print .GetSpecialFolder(WindowsFolder)
Debug.Print .GetSpecialFolder(SystemFolder)
Debug.Print .GetSpecialFolder(TemporaryFolder)
End With
End Sub
 
Jack,

Sub test()
MsgBox (Environ("WINDIR") & _
Application.PathSeparator & _
IIf(InStr(1, Application.OperatingSystem, "32"), "System32",
"System"))
End Sub
