Hi everyone,

I am trying to find a snippet of code that will allow me to detect if service pack 3 has been installed on win2000 via access. Any ideas?

thanks in advance

Dave
 
Does the build number indicate the service pack (if any)?

If so then when the apiGetVersionEx function returns "Windows 2000 (version 5.0, Build 2195)", that would indicate SP3 (the 2195).

I could be wrong (don't have any other build of W2K to test it out on right now).
 
Hi Kraeg,

I'm using that call to check the OS. I'll see if the build is different on Win2000 SP2 machines.

Thanks

Dave
