How to check if running in full version or runtime

Hello,

Is it possible to find out if the current code if executing in the full
version of Access or if it is using a runtime? We have a number of
roaming users running a mixture of versions, but using the same
program. I need to implement features such as spell-checks, but don't
want to confuse the runtime users with options they cannot use. Is
there some sort of check that can determine this?

Thanks

Try:
SysCmd(acSysCmdRuntime)
