I have an Access97 database that is utilized as a datasource for a Word merge document.

I have updated the VBA in Access97 to determine what operating system is running on the desktop. The directory location is based on the operating system. This works fine.

The problem: I am trying to use the same type of logic in Word2002 to determine the operating system to set the directory location to be utilized to set the data source, however, the public constants and types do not want to work for me here.

I have not utilized VBA in Word before, so this may be an operator error.

If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!
 
try?:

Sub ss()

MsgBox (Application.System.OperatingSystem)
End Sub

In Access97 I am using GetVersion, GetUser and GetEnvironment. These are not working in Word2002. I must get all three as the application will be running on Win'95, Win'98, NT and XP.

Any suggestions?
