Brett has it easy over in NJ. We're toughing it out here in Gaithersburg.

How can I check the version of BOL installed on my PC?

For SP3a update, it says in the title, but I'm not sure what it said before. You cold also check the date on this file sql80.col.

I am not sure if there is another way.

Bah, that's a baby hurricane. Come down to Mobile Alabama and we'll show you what a real hurricane is all about!

I just checked my non-sp3a BOL and it doesn't show it in the title.

I have version:
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194 (Intel X86) Aug 6 2000 00:57:48 Copyright (c) 1988-2000 Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 2)

My sql80.col is dated 11/4/2002

Michael, there were significant updates to Books Online according to MS. I would suggest installing BOL for service pack 3a. You don't have to install the service pack, you can install BOL separately if you download it from MS' web site.
