>>Seems as though this should be easy... so I'm probably just missing it. When I build an app or exe, I want to "burn" the date/time of the build into the build itself (either the compile time of a given PRG or build time would both be OK) ... so that I can put up an about box that says: "This version built mm/dd/yyyy:hh:mm:ss". The only way I can figure out how to do that now is the tedious way... i.e., filling in the info by hand in my code. I suppose I could write a routine to create a .H file on the fly with date/time #DEFINED there literally, and then build the app... but isn't there a more automatic way to do this?

Do you mean the file's timestamp? I think that's too easy to change.
