Hi,

I have an application that uses Word VBA and gets
distributed to my users as a template, and all is well ...

... except for some users who have the MSWorks Suite
version of Word installed which seems to be slightly
different to the version of Word that comes with the real
MS Office bundle.

I was wondering whether anyone knew of a way I can tell
the difference between these 2 versions of word so that I
can prompt my users to install the full version?

Both seem to get installed to an Office folder in program
files, is there a registry key, a build number, a file
location? That distinguishes the 2 from each other?

Any help appreciated.

Might the distinction you are seeing depend on whether the people with the
suite have the Works Add-In installed?
