Sergey,

Thanks.

I know its a bad idea. I am working with Accountmate software. They don't provide the source for their exe, nor do they provide build information in any of the columns returned by agetfileversion(), so I have to rely on them to tell me the build information verbally or via email. So I have to hope that they are giving me correct information - they probably are - but it would be helpful if there was a way to confirm it.

>AFAIK, you can only get VFP version but not build from exe. Anyway, it's a bad idea to run appliacation developed under vfp6 sp5 under runtime w/o service pack.
