A2K - how to detect Vista?

[Deano]

My Access 2000 app doesn't work correctly under Vista for lord knows what
reason.

Any code for detected Vista when I start the database? Nothing shows up in
a search of this group, though feel free to correct me.

I know some who'd say, "Make handsigns to ward off evil spirits, and watch
the reaction. If that causes a response, call a qualified exorcist."

It's a bit out of date. I'm sure there's something newer somewhere at vbnet.mvps.org

Problem is I'm not sure I can convert vb.net code into VBA, certainly not
this sort of thing. If anyone has then please post.

Does this help?

Private Declare Function GetFileVersionInfo& Lib "Version" _
Alias "GetFileVersionInfoA" (ByVal FileName$, ByVal lptr&, _
ByVal lSize&, lpvData As Any)

Public Function Version$(ByVal FullPath$)
'2003/02/26 attribution to David Epson
Dim iBuf%(0 To 99)
GetFileVersionInfo FullPath, 0&, 200, iBuf(0)
Version = iBuf(25) & "." & iBuf(24) & "." & iBuf(27) & "." &
iBuf(26)
End Function

Sub test()
Debug.Print Version(Environ$("WINDIR") & "\Explorer.Exe")
End Sub

That website was named vbnet long before vb.net was a gleam in someone's eye at
Microsoft. That website is specifically for VB6.0 API calls almost all of which are
copy and paste into Access (and others) VBA.

You could try checking the registry at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

My XP SP2 shows as 5.1. Vista will most likely be 6.x (no vista here, so I'm
unable to test).
