Question Build Numbers

When I generate a build of my application (which contains several ActiveX Dll's and an ActiveX EXE Server), I want all my build/version information the same through out all the modules.

I am currently using the %BUILD_NUM% variable which works great, but I sometimes forget to set it.

My Builds are versioned by Generation (first Number), Year of existance (second number) and Month & Day as the third set of numbers. So it would look like "2.6.0219" which tells me that it is generation 2, year 6 and was built on Feburary 19th.

What I would like to do is automate the last set of numbers in case I forget to set them so %build_num% variable looks like "2.6.mmdd".

Can anyone suggest a way to do this (perhaps using the VBScripting)?

Thank you....
