Steve,

Thanks for the suggestion. It took me a while to get my head around it, but
I do understand it now and it definitely would work.

Vic

Subject: Re: Checking the WE version

Vic,

Use something like the following:

Dim periodCount : periodCount = 0
for i = 1 to len(version)
     If mid(version, i, 1) = "." Then
         periodCount = periodCount + 1
     End If
Next

If periodCount = 3 Then ' This is at least WE 7.5.1.0. You can use the 
new Version object if needed here.
     ...
Else
     StopScript ' Not WE 7.5.1.0.
End If


Regards,
Steve
