Considerations

The Actr_VersionAutoUpdate function is part of an emerging standard for FileMaker plug-ins of third party vendors of plug-ins. The version number can be easily compared, when using the Autoupdate functionality of FileMaker Server.

Example

For example:

Actr_VersionAutoUpdate

returns 05060100 for version 5.6.1

Actr_VersionAutoUpdate

will return 09050204 for a (possible future) version 9.5.2.4

So for example to use a feature introduced with version 7.0 test if the result is equal to or greater than 07000000.
