Visual Basic, Retrieving the version number from a file

Retrieving the version number from a file

Author	Message
marc #1 / 5	Retrieving the version number from a file As one of my first projects, I need to write a app (hopefully in VB 6.0) that allows a user to run a report that will extract the internal revision number from a list of files that end in the same extension (in this case .rpt since they are all Crystal Report files). I just need to know how to retrieve the revision number from a file (or is it file type specific) for report purposes - fwiw, the revision number is visible when right clicking properties on the file in explorer. Thanks, Mark
