Is there some way in VB to extract a file's version?

Please email if you have a solution....

Use the App object:

MsgBox App.Title & (" version ") & (App.Major) & (".") & (App.Minor)

will yield something like this...

MyProgram version 2.1

<Justin,
<Thanks for your response, but I don't need the version of the VB app itself;
<I want the VB app to extract the version of another program executable, the
<name of which will be specified in the VB code.

If the executable has a version resource, you can get to it
using API calls.  GetFileVersionInfoSize  will give you the
size of the version resource.  GetFileVersionInfo  will get
the resource.  VerQueryValue  can be used to  get a pointer
to a buffer containing a  VS_FIXEDFILEINFO  structure.  You
can then  use  RtlMoveMemory  to  copy that  buffer  into a
variable of type VS_FIXEDFILEINFO.
