I'm calling a user program to make a file called buildNr.h which contains
#define _BUILD_ 123
This file is included in the project. I inserted the command into the "Options for Target - User - Run User ..." This works but the disadvantage is, the tool is called every time a file gets compiled and since the project contains >12 files its timeconsuming and increments _BUILD_ by 12. Any better solution?

You never did say why you can't just use __DATE__ and __TIME__ ...?
Anyhow, add the thing that creates the header as a separate item, and make it the very first in the project: that way it won't be run on every individual compile - only when you build or rebuild-all.

You never did say why you can't just use __DATE__ and __TIME__ ...? The customer wants Date, Time and Build !!
I need DATE and TIME in old style.
And it doesn't matter if I change 1, 2, ... or all source files. If I get a new output file I need the current DATE+TIME cause it's not the same the the one before.
I would expect that a BUILD number is also incremented.
But I haven't a solution to run the tool only at rebuild all, sorry.
