Why not put an icon that contains the text of the library version 
information in a place off the flow line where it won't execute, then:

VersionInfo := DisplayText@"My linked library icon"

I have an icon in the flowline that is linked to a library. I need to be able 
to get the library title of the icon and can't figure out how to get it.

 I want to be able to check the version of a library attached to the main .a7p 
file. I was going to do it by linking an icon and check its library name for 
version information so I could just update the name in the library and display 
the version in the .a7r. Perhaps there is another way, maybe by searching the 
library for a partial name match?

 Thanks for any ideas....Vivian

I already had a calc in my library with versioning information so I was trying 
to just grab the name of it, which contains the latest version number. I 
thought I would just be able to pick off the title but maybe there is no way to

do that. I could change it to a display icon with the calc on the it instead.

 thank you.

To update the calc contents on the flow line you will have to update the 
properties of the icon.  If you use actual displayed text, the update will 
happen automatically, because text and graphics are considered to be content 
and not properties.
