I'm looking for something similar and as easy to use, but automatically created by the project manager.I see that Dragan showed you how to use the AGETFILEVERSION() function to get the version number.
If I understand you correctly, you want the version and the build date to be available in a file built in to the exe and have this info automagically updated each time you do a new build.
If this is the case, why not vrate a project hook to update the text file whenever you do a new build?
A little code like this in the AfterBuild() method of your project hook should do it for you:
TEXT TO lcStr TEXTMERGE NOSHOW PRETEXT 3
Build Date: <<TRANSFORM( _vfp.ActiveProject.BuildDateTime )>>
Version Number: <<_vfp.ActiveProject.VersionNumber>>
ENDTEXT
STRTOFILE( lcStr, [VersionInfo.txt] )
