Delphi 5: setting version from macro

[DavidMacLean]

A project macro VER is set to "2006.9.15"

Under the versions tab of a Delphi step, I "set the project version to a specific value ( The macro of course: %VER%)"

But I get only "2006" in the final result (the executable).

Yet when I do not use a macro, if I type the version number into the tab field instead of using %VER%, I get the desired result.

Syntax issue of some sort?
I tried various commas, quotes etc but no joy.


Thank you
