I have a VB application that uses an mdb file. However this app will only work with Access97 and up. I am trying to find the best way to test the Access version when you first run the app. I know that the HKLM/software/microsoft registry can ususaly have two different entries for Office (MS Office 97 Proffessional and Office) but which should I use? And will it account for a system with Access only without Office?
 
In Access, have you tried using the 'Help' menu item
under 'About Microsoft Access'
the information at the top of the window should provide you with the MS Access release and version number?

This should give you the MS Access information only.
