  See the property ReportOptions from TfrxReport. There are properties as VersionBuild, VersionBuild, VersionMajor, VersionMinor and VersionRelease which include the necessary information.

  Thanks. I tried it, but I must be doing something wrong. In my pagefooter, before print event, I set a Memo object's text property to the version numbers, but I get a blank. I looked at the report options, and the data is set, it just does not seem to want to show me the version. I tried a showmessage command to just show me the build number, and I also got a blank.
  

  procedure PageFooter1OnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);
  begin
         memVersion.Text := 'V' + tfrxReport.ReportOptions.VersionMajor + '.' + tfrxReport.ReportOptions.VersionMinor + '.' + tfrxReport.ReportOptions.VersionRelease + '.' + tfrxReport.ReportOptions.VersionBuild;
         //showmessage(memVersion.Text);
         //Showmessage('V' + tfrxReport.ReportOptions.VersionMajor + '.' + tfrxReport.ReportOptions.VersionMinor + '.' + tfrxReport.ReportOptions.VersionRelease + '.' + tfrxReport.ReportOptions.VersionBuild);
  end;
  

  
  I know the event is firing, as the showmessage procedure fires. I know the memo field is ok, as I can set the test in code, however, as soon as I try adding the build numbers, I get blanks.
  
  Anyone have any ideas?

  Again, I did everything I could think of to get this to work. I looked for options that would maybe be stopping the version from being displayed, but I found nothing. Does the version number work for anyone else?

  By default this propertyes is blank.
  You must set this propertyes yourself when you create report.

  I did. I set them, and I can see them set. :-( However, the behaviour that I am seeing, is like it is not set.
  
  I would settle for being able to show the date that the report was last modified, at least then, I could parse the date, and use it as my build id, which would probably be more accurate. I can't even get the modified date to show up, it is acting like it is blank too. :-(

  The date fields is not blank.
  To test it do this:
  1) Crerate new report.
  2) Place two memo objects.
  3) In first memo write [Report.ReportOptions.CreateDate]
  4) In second memo write [Report.ReportOptions.LastChange]
  5) Set memos Display format to Date.
  6) Run report.

  That worked out quite well. I have no idea what I was doing wrong, but I feel pretty foolish. Thank you so very much for your help.
