[AccessD] Is it possible to update VBA code with VBA?

Simple solution - don't use a Global Constant!

Use a system lookup table to store the VersionID and  a STATIC function  in your reports etc.

Function SetVersionID() 
Dim strSQL as string
StrSQL = "Update tblSysfile Set VersionID ='" & _
   Format(Now(),"ddd.d/mm/yyyy at hh:mm")
Currentdb.Execute strSQL
End Function

Static Function VersionID() as String
Dim store as string
If len(store) = "" then
    Store = DLookup("VersionID","tblSysfile")
End if
VersionID = store
End Function
