    List of Environ expressions

    Hi all,

    Have Googled, helped and Microsofted, No joy.

    Is there such a thing as list of the expressions used for the "Environ" function?

    IE:
    '=Environ(UserName)
    '=Environ(Path)
    etc.
    Thx
    Dave

    Re: List of Environ expressions

    It depends on your operationg system. You can get your list with

    Sub ShowEnviron()
    On Error Resume Next
    For i = 1 To 100
    Cells(i, 1) = Environ(i)
    Next

    End Sub

    Re: List of Environ expressions

    Tom,
    Are these indices fixed across OSs ?
    i.e. 1 always returns ALLUSERSPROFILE ?

    Re: List of Environ expressions

    Hey NickHK
    I would think not, because I am using Windows 98SE and only have about 8
    environment variables and they are numbered consecutively starting with 1.
    ALLUSERSPROFILE isn't one of them.


    TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
    TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
    PROMPT=$p$g
    winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
    PATH=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
    COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
    windir=C:\WINDOWS
    BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4 P330


    Recognize that you can define your own.

    Tom,
    OK, I suppose that makes sense.

    it's the same list you get from the "Dos" Prompt
    in a console window.

    run CMD.exe
    type SET [enter]

    it's slightly different when you run COMMAND.com
