VFP build version

Hi,

Is there a way to find what version of VFP I used to build an executable?
I'm sure I've seen an (MSDN?) article on it before, but can't seem to find
it anywhere.

Any help much appreciated.

nRows = aGetFileVersion(ArrayName, cFileName)If cFileName has version
information ArrayName is created (or resized) with 15 rows. Element 11 gives
you the informationyou are looking for. This function works on any kind of
exe file!> Hi,

Hi Graham,

Thanks, but not quite what I was looking for. I know that you can give your
own version numbers, author name, company name and so on when you compile an
exe, which is what aGetFileVersion will give you.

What I want to know is if I built the exe using VFP6, 7, 8, 8SP1, etc. I'm
sure I saw an article where you can read a few bytes from near the beginning
of the file and determine it from there.

Cheers,
Neil
