• Microsoft Jet workspace On the CdbDBEngine object, returns the version of DAO currently in use. On the CdbDatabase object, returns the version of Jet that created the .mdb file.

Syntax

CStringGetVersion(VOID);

Remarks

The return value is a version number, formatted as follows.

• Microsoft Jet workspace represents the version number in the form "major.minor". For example, "3.0". The product version number consists of the version number (3), a period, and the release number (0).
  
  
• ODBCDirect workspace represents the DAO version number in the form "major.minor", or represents the ODBC driver version number in the form "major.minor.build". For example, the CdbDBEngine.Version value of “3.5” indicated DAO version 3.5. A CdbDatabase object's Version value of 2.50.1032 indicates that the current instance of DAO is connected to ODBC version 2.5, build 1032.

In a Microsoft Jet workspace, the Version property of a CdbDatabase object corresponds to a version of the Microsoft Jet database engine, and doesn’t necessarily match the version number of the Microsoft product with which the database engine was included. For example, the Version property of a CdbDatabase object created with Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0 will be 1.1, not 3.0.

The following table shows which version of the database engine was included with various versions of Microsoft products.
