OperatingSystem Property (Session Object)

OperatingSystem Property (Session Object)

The OperatingSystem property returns the name and version number of the current operating system. Read-only.

Syntax

objSession.OperatingSystem

Data Type

String

Remarks

CDO returns strings in the following formats:

Operating system

String value

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups

Microsoft® Windows(TM) N.k

Microsoft Windows 95

Microsoft® Windows 95(TM) N.k

Microsoft Windows NT

Microsoft® Windows NT(TM) N.k

The N.k values are replaced with the actual version numbers. Note that Microsoft® Windows® for Workgroups version 3.11 returns the string Microsoft® Windows(TM) 3.10. This is due to that operating system rather than to CDO.

The version number returned in the OperatingSystem property is not related to the version number returned in the Version property.

Example

This code fragment displays the name and version of the operating system:

' from the function Session_OperatingSystem
' assume objSession is a valid Session object
MsgBox "Operating system = " & objSession.OperatingSystem
