How to assign a version number to an access application

65 New Member
Hi,

I want to put a version number to my application. Some applications have only one number to describe the version. Other have two some have three.

What rules do I have to follow in order to put a version number for my application? Is there any URL that can help me learning this?

Thank you,
Abolos

When dealing with version numbers, the best thing to do is to create a table to record the version number. Then in the load event of the startup form check that the correct version is being accessed.

Thanks mmccarthy for your reply. Actually, what I want is to know how to decide what version numbers to put in for my application.

Suppose I started to work with a new application. What version number to put for it? Is it 0.0.1? And suppose that I made changes, to what number do I have to change? Is it to 0.0.2? Or 1.0.0? Actually I don't know how to number the version.

Thanks for your support in this matter.

It's really a personal choice.

V.1.0 is usually a nice starting place.

In consulting, when a document/program is going through pre-relase or pre-sign-off updates, the version numbers are typically less than 1. For example, the initial document creation would be:

- "your application v0.1.accdb"

Whenever you change it, you increment it, for example:

- "your application v0.2.accdb"

and so on. When time comes to sign off the document or release the application, you assign it version 1.0. For example:

- "your application v1.0.accdb"

Any updates after your released version are incremented in the tenths place, For example:

- "your application v1.1.accdb"

And so on. Just an idea....

Hi all, I have an Access application that has to import hundreds of other MDB's, some access 97 and some 2000, and merge them into several large mdb's. so far so good, but my command: Set appAccess = GetObject(TargetDBPathNAme, "Access.Application.9") sometimes fails, of course, when the MDB to be imported is Access 97
