Function to determine operating system...

[buzzboychicago]

Does anyone know a way to get programatically determine whether a user is on XP, 2000, or 98?

The application needs to be called differently from the two so I need to determine that at runtime.

Thanks!!

buzzboychicago,

To retrieve operating system information you will have to use Windows API Calls. For version info I think you want abGetVersionEx in kernel32.

at the following link there is a procedure for determining operating system, this procedure has been written in VB and will therefore need the control array that is in use modifying due to access not supporting control arrays. Though it should only need a small amount of modification past this.
