>>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:

>>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.

Hi Magnus,

About the only thing I can think of is they have to be 32 bit files (EXEs, DLLs, OCXs, etc.) Other than that, I've never had a problem under either Win 95 or 98.
