Automatic version correct (increasing build number)
Let's say that i have initial screen with version number and build number in it (two labels). What I would like from Delphi is to increase build number every time i recompile project. Is that possible?

That's cool, but what about any other variables.
Let's say my username for LAN. Can it be stored somwhere in program during rebuild?

Stefaan,
You just repeated what I had already stated in my proposed answer. Please read all existing comments to a question before posting your own. It's not nice ot step on someone else's toes.
Roza,
You can store anything you want in the version information screen provided by Delphi.
Just follow the steps I outlined and you'll get in the Version Info screen. There's a grid where you can set all information you want. If you scroll to the end of the grid, you can add your own custom variables, along with their values.
Yours,
Alex

Hi Alex,
When I commented your comment wasn't there yet. I guess we were both keying in our comments at the same time. It was never my intention to repeat someone elses comment.

Hi!
Something strange is happening with ee.
Looks like I posted three identical questions and my comments are dissapearing.
Hi Alex,
Ok. I can store variable into version info screen, but how to correct this everytime I rebuild.
Ex. I make Key named Date. Now when I rebuild my project I want to assign value datetostr(date).
Is something like that possible?

Unfortunately not, Roza.
I know what you mean - having the "BuildDate" or something like that in the version info, automatically managed by Delphi would be a rael nice feature. Too bad Delphi cannot do that today? Maybe that's possible with Delphi 6!

Alex thanx for your answer. Guess I just wanted too much from my computer :)
You can do that using the Project options in Delphi.
Open your Project, selection the Options item from the Project Menu. This will open up a screen with some tabs. Pick the version info tab, and there check the 'auto increment build number' option.
