You can use the vbAdvance add-in which allows the setting of the version build. It is now freeware, but no longer supported. You can learn more and download it here.

Hi Kelly, a Long time ago i was fallen in love with VBCorlib ;) – OlimilOops Oct 08 '13 at 16:19
Hi, thanks for the support. I've been trying to carve out some spare time to update VBCorLib a bit, but it's been difficult. I still tinker with it though. – Kelly Ethridge Oct 08 '13 at 23:52

Answer is you can't with native VB6.

Note that you can do this in VB.NET but not in VB6 - See this page from MSDN for differences between VB6 and VB.NET projects with regard to version numbering.

You could possibly alter the version of the compiled exe- see this question for some suggestions on this:

How do I set the version information for an existing .exe, .dll?
