Yes, you would do it that way or you could just use the environ function
from VBA

You're right, of course. Except that I had a bad experience back in the day
of NT4 where I had a bunch of machines some of which had a TMP environmental
variable and some of which had TEMP, but none had both. Easy to work around,
of course, but I've automatically avoided it ever since.
