Re: Can VB6 tell if full MSAccess is installed or Runtime

My vb6 loader program shells a command line to open my mde. I did not know
whether I needed to include a '/RUNTIME' if they only have a run-time version
of Access. I was not sure if I would be able to find the path to the Run
time version of Access. I was posting this question prior to going to
customer site where some of their staff have run time versions of Access and
some of them have full versions.
Since then, I have visited customer's site. Apparantly I do not need to deal
with this issue at all. The loader does not need to do anything different.
Thanks,
Christine

Hi Norm,
Thanks for responding.
I think that your code would behave the same whether the run-time or the
complete Access was installed. I'm not sure. I have full Access installed
on
my computers. So I can't test it at this time.
Does anyone know if it would get different results on a PC that only had
the
run-time version of Access on it?
I will be going to a customer site next week. I believe that some of their
computers might have a run-time version installed. If so, I will try to
check
out your code on their PC and see what happens.
Thanks,
Christine

William, I am asking if my vb program can detect whether there is a
full
version of Access installed or whether there is only a 'Run-time'
version
installed. My vb program will do different things depending on what
Access
environment it finds. it will not try to install Access.
I may be missing the point, but it looks like some simple
error checking might be in order:
Function AccessInstalled() As Boolean
Dim Obj As Object
Set Obj = CreateObject("Access.Application")
AccessInstalled = Not (Obj Is Nothing)
End Function
