I want the version number to be based on the date so I want it to be set automatically (through a routine I will write) each time I build. I'm sure this can be done but I'm not sure exactly how.

Yes. You can build a projecthook object with the following code in the BeforeBuild event:

LPARAMETERS cOutputName, nBuildAction, lRebuildAll, lShowErrors, lBuildNewGuids
if nBuildAction = > 2 then  && you are build an EXE or DLL
   _VFP.ActiveProject.VersionNumber = "MMMM.mmmm.bbbb"
