Access Environment execution

[luis_a_roman via AccessMonster.com]

Is there away that I could determine which access application is running?
I have an application that when it executes in XP I can display a power point
presentation without no problem. However, when I execute the same code in
Office 2007 it does not work because the location of the power point
execution exec is located in a different library.

Therefore, would like to know how to figure out the environment so that I can
use one path or the other.

Your guidance and collaboration will be appreciated.

Luis

Why not use FollowHyperlink to fire up the Powerpoint file?
That will use the default program to handle PPT files.

If you don't like that, try:

If you do need to get your version number, try:
Val(SysCmd(acSysCmdAccessVer))
or for more detail (so you know what service pack also):
