This has a pretty good list.

When you use "Application.OperatingSystem" in a excel macro, the
response is???
That is what I am trying to determine for various versions of windows.

we posted at the same time

This OperatingSystem property will depend on OS version , Bulid ,
Service Pack etc.So it will vary on different computer.

If it is the result in one OS then some error is there else it is
perfectly fine that this property will return different value.There
are lot of OS each os has lot version each version has lot build pack
etc.The list can not be exclsusive.

Hi Ron, I had read that before. The general opinion is that Office
only works on 32-bits so it responds that way.

You can tell if you are running Office 64-bit with the newly added Win64
conditional constant introduced in 2010's VBA7

#If WIN64 = true then
' code for 64 bit Office
#Else
' 32bit code
#End If

That's important as will need to cater differently for most APIs and other
stuff, but only if the code might be run in multiple versions.
