Version numbers

[Herb]

I'm trying to write a utility that will display version numbers for dlls and
exes along with other info, date,size,path,etc.
I've got everything displaying except version number.
Is there a way of getting the version number for a dll or exe??

thanks

Herb,

Some months ago I wrote a tip of the month that I call 'Get Fully Qualified
File Name using TypeLib Info'. Link to http://www.buygold.net/tips.html then
look for the January 2000 tip of the month. A sample program is provided
that includes a function to get file information.

Cheers,
Larry Rebich
