You're exactly right. I was trying to do everything through the InfoPlist.strings file. It appears I'm better off just using the Target dialog. Sheesh, it looks as if in order to get my version number to show up in all the places I want it to show up I have to remember to set it in no fewer than three places every time I do a new build (CFBundleGetInfoString, CFBundleShortVersionString, and CFBundleVersion). Is there a way to use a variable here so I can just set this value in one place? m.
