I think it might help if you explain why you need multiple
versions.

Indeed, you might find it easier to maintain a single application but use command line parameters or a configuration file to
enable the different functionality required.
Maintaining a selection of marginally different versions is fraught with danger and given time you will screw up, not "might" or
"could" but "will" - sorry.

If you want different versions, and will update them individually then. Start some new projects, one for each version. Assuming
the version you have now is the base for them all, copy all forms, .bas and so on to each new project directory. Chose project add
existing modules to get separate copies of current project in each new project.



Personally, I think what I do is just maintain a single project and use conditional compilation to create different "versions".
