Want to set version of an application developed in MS Access...

[Jahedur Rahman]

Looking for a way to set/read the version of an application that is developed
in MS Access. I need to do this to maintain the version compatibility of the
application.

Let me make you sure the followings,

1. I am using .mdb file as a database and as well as for the windows forms
application in MS ACCESS 2003.

2. I am referring to the application version to control for each
release...means not the mdb version like 2003/2007/11.0/12.0.

I need to set the version 1.0 for first release then 1.1 for the next
one and so on...

Is there any way to do that?

The concept of applying Version info for your applicaiton can be a simple or
as complex as you care to make it.

Simple solution: Place a Label type control somewere on your main form for
your application, formatting it and entering your version number in this
label. I will not change unless you open the form in design mode and change
it.

You could create a table that would hold the information in one field and
then use the On Open event of your main form to read the value from the table
and display it on your form.

I prefer the simple solution, but that's just me.

The non-simple solution might be useful if you need keep a history of
versions - e.g. date implemented, changes made, etc.
Then you could create a table for version data, with VersionNumber and other
fields for date, changes, requested by, etc.
Your main form could then query this table to find & display
MAX(VersionNumber)

As Mr. B says, it can be as complex as you want (or need) to make it.
