Database Properties, Custom

[Guest]

I want to track the current 'version' of a front end file. I added 'Client'
as a text property by clicking File, Database Properties and selecting the
Custom tab.

I clicked on Client, set the property as text and set the value as 2.0.1

Now, how do I call back to that property in a form? I want to have a simple
text box that calls to that property so I can tell at the main switchboard
what version the user is running.

THX!

Same way you access any Property of the database -- CurrentDB.Client in code
or an expression probably ought to do the trick.

No dice. I entered
=CurrentDb("Client") and =CurrentDb([Client]) and all I get is #Error.
