I have a program that I need to update to work under Windows 95,
Windows 98, and Windows XP to display a help file.
Under Windows 95/98, I can use the following code:
fil = App.Path & "\file.hlp"
rc = Shell("winhelp " & fil, vbNormalFocus)
The above code does not work under Windows XP, so I have to use:
fil = App.Path & "\file.hlp"
Call ShellExecute(Me.hwnd, "open", fil, "", "", 0)
If there is a command that lets me know what operating system I am
running on, I will be able to put some conditional code?
Can somebody tell me how to do it?
Thank you,
xyz

Looking through the internet I found the answer to my own question:
I added a Microsoft SysInfo control on the form and this code:
If SysInfo1.OSPlatform = 2 Then
' OSPlatform = 2 for Win NT/2000/XP
Call ShellExecute(Me.hwnd, "open", fil, "", "", 0)
Else
' OSPlatform = 1 for Win 95/98
rc = Shell("winhelp " & fil, vbNormalFocus)
End If
