[Matt Rondeau]

Is there a way to check if a user has installed project 2003 service pack 2
on their machine using VBA?

Matt,
First, your message is posted in a newsgroup that is destined to be
closed (although I don't know when). You might have better luck by
posting in the current newsgroup for this type of question which is:
microsoft.public.project.developer.

That said, I don't know of any direct way to check for the installation
of updates (that doesn't mean there isn't one), so I'm anxious to hear
any responses from others. If you get no other responses (after
re-posting in the suggested newsgroup), I suggest an alternate approach.
When certain attributes are not available directly, I resort to one or
more indirect methods. For example, find a particular bug that was fixed
by SP2 and test for Project's reaction to that bug. It's a round about
method but sometimes its the only one available.

Hope this helps.

Alternatively you need to know the file (updated by the patch) size and
dates and then test those.
