Auto-increment version number for Tools ... Options
I would probably allow a form to be a splash screen as well and have it call this version number so that the optional flash screen has a number that automatically gets updated for you...

As an addition to what I just posted, I update the 'Application Title' using VBA code under a With statement:
db.Properties!AppTitle = "<name> " & !Ver & "." & !Release & "." & !Mod
.Update
Application.RefreshTitleBar -

If you are referring to a version number of a front-end, I had implemented a billing software where I created a table specifically for the version number (Version.Release.Mod), where each is a four digit number, and Mod gets incremented by 1 every time I click a certain button on a form. I have it set to increment the Release by 1 once the Mod reaches 9999. When Release eventually reaches 9999, the Version gets incremented by 1. Anyway, after I update the version number (V.R.M), I update the "Application Title" portion of the Current Database tab after clicking on File-->Options. I hope this helps. This makes it easy for me to know when my users have the most update version of the Front-End.

You are probably right I just thought it might be easy to do.

As a developer, there are so many ways this can be implemented, as well as so many different 'version number' formats, I'm not sure this would be a good use of the Access Product team's time.
