Hi Anand, I can understand for the version but how can I know if Word was installed in the computer ? For instance I am using the registry "HKLU\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OFFICE\11.0\WORD" to know if the good version was installed but I would like to use a better way... I will use the property of my word application component to check the version but I need something to be sure that the application was really installed and is not only a key in the registry... I hope you can understand what I am trying to explain.... Thank you very much ! JULIEN. > Hi Nicolas, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> >> Julien. Hi Nicolas, I guess you want to check if the file is physically present? Since you good at usign the registry you can obtain the path where ms office installed right? Usign that path either you can use dir$(path) or chdir(path) and the use the dir$(file name) to determine. Is this what you wanted to do?
