Default Environ()

The Environ "list" can be referenced by number so you can check the list
from start to finish.

You can also check for the environment variable by name directly:
eg. MsgBox Environ("NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS")


This code checks for the existence of the environment variable
Sub test()
Dim blnExists As Boolean, strSearch As String
strSearch = "NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS"

blnExists = (Environ(strSearch) < "")

MsgBox blnExists
End Sub

Hi Bob

Thanks. I made the list myself using similar code to yours. I just

wondered
if a list of possible values to be checked for existed.

Jan,

There is no set list as it will depend upon what environment variables

have
been set on each particular machine.

Here is some code to print it all out

Dim iLoop As Long

iLoop = 1
Do
Debug.Print "#" & Format(iLoop, "00") & " " & Environ(iLoop)
iLoop = iLoop + 1
Loop Until Environ(iLoop) = ""

use
with the Environ statement. like Environ(13) gives me the number of
Processors.
