I see. Your program finds the dates in the resource section of the program. Not all programs have dates there because not all programs have resource sections. I thought you were trying to get the date from the TImageFileHeader.TimeDateStamp field, which is where compilers are supposed to put the compilation date. For DatedExe.exe, that field holds June 19, 1992. All Delphi programs get that date. If Rainer wanted the compilation date of an arbitrary program, your method wouldn't work. But since he wants the date of his own program, it will be good. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
