Hi Richard,
I'm not familiar with the WSS Versions, having never used SharePoint, but there's an article you might find useful on accessing the
SharePoint DocumentLibraryVersion (which is what I think you want) at:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa171357(office.11).aspx
When you run that code, you should test whether SharePoint is present. For example:
If ActiveDocument.SharedWorkspace.Connected then
'SharePoint is present
Else
'SharePoint is not present
End If
Cheers
