    Access/Windows/Office365 Version Checker

    When clients report issues or forum members ask questions, we often need to ask which version of Access/Windows/Office they are using.
    Unfortunately, MS doesn't provide all the info in an accessible form that can be exported to a text file or similar.

    I have created a utility that gets all the important info and displays it on a form:

    The info can be exported to a text file

    It can then be emailed by clients to me as the developer.
    It could also be useful for forum members to upload this info with their questions.

    The utility is available as a FREE Access add-in in ACCDE format from my website: https://www.isladogs.co.uk/avc-addin/index.html
    Both 32-bit & 64-bit versions are provided. It works in all versions from 2010 onwards
    Full installation instructions for using as an add-in are provided though it can also be used as a standalone app.

    I hope it is useful to others

      Following feedback from users, I’ve now added the following:
      a) Copy to Clipboard feature - to make it even easier to paste the info into an email or forum post
      b) VBA References list - any missing references are marked as *BROKEN*

      I’ve also tidied up the code partly to help the form load faster
      The latest version is 2.67.
      For more information and to download the add-in, see my web article: https://www.isladogs.co.uk/avc-addin/

      As before the add-in is FREE and is available as 32-bit/64-bit ACCDE files for use with Access 2010 onwards






      I hope this is useful to others

        Even more nice work isladogs. I've updated my How to ask "good" questions -- READ BEFORE SUBMITTING A QUESTION! thread to include a link to this thread so hopefully it will continue to get visibility.
