How to determine versions of your program?

[jeffro]

I was wondering if anyone was familiar with versions when your compile your program. Is there a certain way you determine it? Example: Version 1.3.0 or something like that. Does it go by how many changes you make when you go to compile the program again?

Thanks in advance.

You set the version under Make EXE->Options. There is a setting to automatically increment the version, but it's disabled by default.

Thanks a lot that helped me out!!

You can also determine it through VB code.

MsgBox "Version: " & App.Major & "." & App.Minor & "." & App.Revision

...the project -> bottom option, caren't remember the name. You know the place you set up exe start point, help file name, compile options etc.

We got this working, but every time we compile it increments the sub number by 1. Very strange, would have thought it would be better if you manually set it here.

Jethro, what do you mean? It will increase by 1 everytime you compile an exe if you check the Auto Increment. Just uncheck it and set it manually.

Also,

Once set you can check an exe or dll by right clicking on the file and going to properties, version, Product version.

We always include an about window to allow users to determine their version, also helps with sites you haven't been too in a while. Just love being able to say to a version 2 user, yeap fixed that in version 3 would you like an upgrade.
