Is there a way to tell if the PC is running Vista or XP

[Greyfleck]

I am running some tests which work fine on XP but poop themselves in Vista. Is there a way I can tell which operating system I am working on within the code so I can stop duplication ...
Thanks

While not expressly mentioning Vista in it this FAQ may be of some help faq222-4599

Hope this helps

Thanks HQ - I will see if I can get Vista from it too and report back.
I tried using = Environ("OS")but got windows_NT back for both!

I think Major Version = 6 means Vista, but check out Randy Birch's code at
