I have the auto increment checked, but it only increments when I reopen
the project.  I am using VS2003 educational version
thanks

Make sure you check the checkbox in the 'configuration
properties/optimizations', 'enable increment build' in the program 'property
pages'.

To get to the 'property pages', right-click the solution & click
'properties' or click the 'Project' menu & click 'Properties'.

Incremental build doesn't have anything to do with the product version, it
only prevents the compiler from recompiling unchanged parts of the code when
building the project.

This behavior is by design.

Structure of version numbers and methods to determine the version number

The articles I referenced in my post will certainly deal with the reasons.
