Geoff,

Okay, just reread a couple of messages ago...

Here is some code from a simple "about" dialog...this form has an editbox on it (called edit1) that is readonly. Put this code in the init() method of the form; if you run this form from inside of the .exe you will see the name of the .exe and the version.

local laVersion, ;
		crlf
		
crlf = chr(13) + chr(10)

dimension laVersion[1]
agetfileversion(laVersion,sys(16,1))	

with this.edit1
	.value = ''
	.value = .value + "   Company: " + laVersion[2] + crlf
	.value = .value + "Executable:  " + laVersion[8] + crlf
	.value = .value + "   Version:  " + laVersion[4]
endwith
