Platform SDK: CDO 1.2.1

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
