Dear all,

Is there any way which can let me tell the version of each MDB file?

As you know when Access loading an old version MDB file, it will
automatically prompt user if they want to upgrade it to higher version. I
wonder if it is same with DBF to use one byte in file header to label
version number.

Thanks.
 
Lurc,

Is this not complete an MS office Access related question.

In other words, can you explain to us the relation to the VBNet programma
language

I was thinking he might want to figure out the version of Access used to
create his MDB from within a .NET app?

I thought ServerVersion might do the trick, but it looks like that just
returns the version of OleDb you're using (most like 4.0.xxxx). It might be
stored in those hidden Access tables (SysACEs and such), but I couldn't find
anything on it specifically... You might just have to open the file for
binary reading and read in the header info. or something (sorry, I don't
have info on that either...)
