>If the COM server is an in-process server (DLL) this information isn't available. VFP doesn't store the version information in the DLL as it does in an EXE. Therefore, there's no information for the OS to retrieve. You can test this yourself by right clicking a VFP DLL and selecting properties. There's no version tab. I went as far as using the GetFileVersionInfoSize() function in Version.dll, but that returns 0 (and GetLastError() does also), indicating that this information isn't present.

Thanks Everyone,

Guess I'll have to create a version property and remember to change the number whenever I recompile it.

Hope this changes in Version 7 (or is that now VFP.NET).
