accessing file properties with VBA

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to access file properties that may have been entered on
the 'Summary' tab using Explorer? I thought that maybe the able to access
the information with the FileSystemObject but something like
'fileObject.Properties.Summary.Category' does not exist. How can I access
information that is attached to a file ... at a file management level (i.e.
without entering a drawing)? I'm using Windows 2000 ... other users still
have Windows NT.

TIA, Andy

Andy,

Check the following url:

With this dll installed you will be able to edit the properties too.

Cheers,

Andy,

I just realized that may not help.
Hence locate the file props.zip in the customer files NG.
