    Question read out references

    Hi everybody,
    I am wrting an application that is using XSXML. Unfortunately there are some incompatabilities with MSXML2, MSXML3 and MSXML4. As I want my application to be runnable on every installed MSOffice, I would like to check at the beginning of the program which MSXML.dll is used.
    What I exactely want to do is to read out in Excel which references are activated in the tools-references dialog.

    Does anybody know how to do this with visual basic?
    thanks,
    Andreas

    The version of the dll is contained in the system registry. You will need to read The registry to determine which is installed.
    There are several examples of reading the System registry on this forum or you can go to Http://www.Planet-Source-Code.com/vb for solutions on how to do this.
