What version of Access is the user running?

Yes,
It is possible to determine the version of Access that is running within an Access application. This technique uses the "SysCmd" object. The code is relatively simple and doesn't require any additional VBA "references":

If SysCmd(acSysCmdAccessVer) = 7 Then
MsgBox "This is the Access 95", vbOKOnly
End If

If SysCmd(acSysCmdAccessVer) = 8 Then 'assumed to be 8
MsgBox "This is the Access 97", vbOKOnly
End If

If SysCmd(acSysCmdAccessVer) = 9 Then
MsgBox "This is the Access 2000", vbOKOnly
End If

If SysCmd(acSysCmdAccessVer) = 10 Then
MsgBox "This is the Access 2002", vbOKOnly
End If

Obviously, this could have been created with "Select case" statements.
