You can read the Path value from
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\OUTLOOK.EXE and see where Outlook is installed if it is and then go to that folder and file and read the version property. A clue usually is the 11.0 in the path for Outlook 2003 or 12.0 for Outlook 2007, etc. but the user can install where they want so that's not always accurate. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Tanweer Ahmad" wrote in message ...

That key can be missing if Outlook is installed from a network drive.
A better approach might be to look at the Outlook.Application registry key and see which executable it points to, then use the file version API to read the version info.
