>>>There shouldn't be, but again I don't have access to an NT server (yet). One possibility that comes to mind is that GetFileVersion() only works with 32 bit executables, DLLs, OCXs, and other compiled files. Are you sure that the file is 32 bits?

GetFileVersion() worked fine in both instances. I looked at the VFP6.EXE installed in my Visual Studio directory.

No problem - I have a restricted userid I can try when I get back home this evening. I was logged in with domain admin privileges, so that wasn't considered. I assume that read but not write or change privileges in the directory as opposed to specific file access rights is is what you want me to test.
