hi jared! unfortunately not!
1st. because the dispatcher dll's (ociw32.dll for oci7 and oci.dll for oci8) might have a different version then the underlying "real" oci client dll's. 2nd. because many of the distributed dll's do not have any version information resource. this is a problem that i already reported several times to the oracle support but i was told that nobody really seems to care. ps: actually i was looking for a programmatically way to do so but clearly it would also be possible to retrieve the version information from the version resources within the dll. cheers -do -----Original Message----- Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2002 03:48 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can't you just right click on the dll and choose 'properties' to get the info?
