why does my app.productionversion not auto increment?

[Kevin]

I have the auto increment checked, but it only increments when I reopen
the project. I am using VS2003 educational version
thanks

Make sure you check the checkbox in the 'configuration
properties/optimizations', 'enable increment build' in the program 'property
pages'.

To get to the 'property pages', right-click the solution & click
'properties' or click the 'Project' menu & click 'Properties'.

Incremental build doesn't have anything to do with the product version, it
only prevents the compiler from recompiling unchanged parts of the code when
building the project.

This behavior is by design.

So the only time my project get a new version number is when I reopen it?

The articles I referenced in my post will certainly deal with the reasons.
