Thanks very much, I do not know how I have managed to not notice that since we have been using TortoiseSVN for years... Interestingly, the sample keyword file does not seem to work properly: char *Revision = "$WCREV$"; >> char *Revision = "1755"; char *Revision16 = "$WCREV&0xFF$"; >> char *Revision16 = "$WCREV&0xFF$"; ...but that is for another list. ~ mark c
