I use the same scheme all the time. If you use VC7/7.1, then I have written a plugin for the IDE to automatically incrememnt the version number on each build. You can download the tool at: http://www.beginthread.com/Article/Ehsan/Version%20Manager/ If you use VC6, IIRC /dev had a similar plug-in in one of his article on BeginThread.com. ------------- Ehsan Akhgari Farda Technology (http://www.farda-tech.com/) List Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ WWW: http://www.beginthread.com/Ehsan ] With one's principles one seeks to tyrannize over one's habits or to justify or honour or scold or conceal them - two people with the same principles probably seek something fundamentally different with them. -Beyond Good And Evil, F.
