>Thanks - for the speedy,if depressing, information
You're welcome (and I didn't mean to depress you). I should've also included OCXs and some others too. The reason that this information isn't stored in there has to do with the fact that VFP apps can only be run from VFP executables. Simply put, there's no header to the that a normal executable has. This is where the version information is stored. Note that other than the header, VFP app files are no different from VFP exes.
