Hi,When versioning is enabled, versions are automatically created whenever a user updates a document in a document library,to enable versioning http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc287876.aspxso supposed that you enable versioning,you can view version history by choosing the file and click on the right down arrow and select version historythis will open a list of all version as of the time you enabled versioning in this docuemnt libraryBest Regards, Ammar MCT http://ahmed-ammar.blogspot.com Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

When i am in the version history overview and click on a version i get showed up the submenue. When i now select "view", i get the DISPFORM.ASPX which shows me the Document meta data of this version. But i will open the real document behind this version and dont know how to do this.Best regards, Yavuz B. My Sharepoint Blog http://www.sharepointkb.net

i found it:1. do not select view -> klick on the link behind the version in the version historyor 2. if a document has a title the document name in the document meta tags views (dispform.aspx) is clickable and the document will open when you click on the document nameBest regards, Yavuz B.
