I don't know if this is the right place to raise this question but here goes!
I've been trying to ascertain whether a client's DLLs are up to date
(specifically, Jet 4.0) and discovered inconsistencies in the date info in
Explorer - namely, numerous DLL files showed 'modified' dates that were
earlier than the 'created' dates!!. (Win 2000 Pro)
I guess that what's happening is that, on downloading a new version of a
dll, the 'created' date was being overwritten but the 'modified' date wasn't.
Any comments?
Also, while talking DLLs, in my innocence I'd assumed that DLL version
numbers would increase as they were modified. Yet (for example) the latest
Service Pack for Jet 4.0 (SP 8) includes v 3.60.8025.0 of dao360.dll, while
the customer has 3.60.8618.0 - and given the confusing dates referred to
above I'm not sure how long it's been there. Has an Office SP or hotfix
overtaken Jet SP8 or iis the dll version numbering in a state of confusion (I
certainly am!!).
Again, any comments?
