Why is accessing APP.MAJOR taking a long time?

[Joker]

Anyone know why a command like this would take a long time to execute?

lblVerstion = "Version: " & app.marjor & "." & app.minor

I've tried:
-- separating the code into multiple lines.
-- Assigning to a variable instead of a label
-- Putting DoEvents between multiple lines.
-- Putting the code in a timer - (hoping for some multitasking)

The problem is that I have a splash screen and want to put the program
version on there. But I also want the screen to come and up and display
quickly, so the user knows that something is happening. When I include any
code that references APP.MAJOR or APP.MINOR there is a pretty long delay at
that point. As soon as I remove the code, everything else runs quickly.

Also note: It runs just fine (fast) in the development environment. It's
only in the compiled EXE that it runs slowly.

My gues is that it is because it is looking into the EXE on disk

disk access eats time.

How about putting up the splash screen and filling in a few bits of
info later - it might look quite neat.
