I don't think there is an automatic way to do this. However, you can go
to Project/Properties on VB's menubar and click the "Make" tab on the
dialog box that appears. In the "Version Information" section, you can
select the "Comments" item and enter something like

     Build Date May 7, 2004

which you can then retrieve in your program using the Comments property
of the App object.

     Debug.Print App.Comments

I envision you updating the build date in the Comments field at the same
time you update the Version number (since you are on the same panel).

box, I tried looking at the App object to see if there was a property
that had it, but I couldn't see it in there. Anyone know where I can
retrieve this information from without having to do it manually?
