Hi Magnus,

In VFP 6.0 you can use AGETFILEVERSION() to retrieve the version number from the EXE. In VFP 5.0 the function is in the foxtools library and called GETFILEVERSION(). They use slightly different syntax:

* lcfile is the fully qualified file name
SET LIBRARY TO FOXTOOLS && Needed only in 5.0
DIMENSION a_info[12]
* VFP 5.0
= GETFILEVERSION(lcfile, @a_info)
* VFP 6.0
= AGETFILEVERSION(a_info, lcfile)

Version information in the fourth array element.
