Find IDEA version number from script

Hi Ken and welcome to the site.

IDEA doesn't have a function to get the version number but I use the following routine to obtain the version number.  The function tests to see if a function available only in V9 works, if it gives an error it knows that you are using V8 else it returns V9.  Hopefully this will help you out.

'****************************************************************************************************
'	Name:		verIDEA
'	Description:	Routine to return the version of IDEA 8 or 9
'	Last Update:	
'	Accepts:		nothing
'	returns:		"8" or "9"
'****************************************************************************************************

Function verIDEA() As String

	Dim openDlg As Object
	Err.number = 0 'reset error to 0
	
	On Error Resume Next
	Set openDlg = Client.CommonDialogs
	If Err.number = 0 Then
		verIDEA = "9"
	Else
		verIDEA = "8"
	End If
	
	Err.number = 0 'reset error to 0
	Set openDlg = Nothing
End Function

Ken, you could try something out like this.  I don't have access at the moment to V9.1 so I am not sure what the result would be but as you can see you use the function and test for the different results to see if you are using 9.1 or 9.2.  The script probably needs some tweaking to make sure it captures the differences between the two.

Option Explicit
Dim bIsV91 As Boolean

Sub Main
	bIsV91 = checkIfV91()
	MsgBox bIsV91
	
End Sub

Function checkIfV91() As Boolean
	If iFinYear("20140630", "0630") = "2013-2014" Then
		checkIfV91 = False
	Else
		checkIfV91 = True
	End If
End Function
