Date of last build 1

[jimstarr]

From within an application I need to have available a window showing the date when the .exe was last built. I don't want to have to manually update a table each time I do a BUILD. Suggestions?

Thanks!

Jim,

How about this:

? FDATE("MyApp.EXE")

Or, more generically:

IF VERSION(2) = 0
? FDATE(FORCEEXT(SYS(16), "EXE"))
ELSE
* Not an executable
ENDIF

Don't know if I ever used that function, but it's just what I needed. Thanks, Mike!

FDATE() is really just the file date of the EXE. SYS(16) gives the file name of the running foxpro EXE. The file date could get hacked, but it will not change unwillingly.

Bye, Olaf.
