Detect Office Components

[rahmanji]

Hi,

I am using developing a VB application that opens MS office components (Powerpoint, Access, Word).

Can any one tell me how to detect if office components are already installed on the local machine.

Thanks in advance

Try creating something along this line:

Private Function Word_Installed() As Boolean
Dim oBj As Object
 
    On Error GoTo err_Handler
    Set oBj = CreateObject("Word.Application")
    Set oBj = Nothing
    Word_Installed = True
    Exit Function
    
err_Handler:
    Word_Installed = False
End Function
