Aceessing Attributes without open the drawing

[Anonymous]

Dear all,
 Is there any way to access the attribute text string in a drawing without open
the drawing? I have tried like this.

(setq dDbx (vla-getinterfaceobject (vlax-get-acad-object) "ObjectDBX.AxDbDocument.18"))
(setq cFile (getfiled "Select *.dwg file" "t:\\" "dwg" 4))
(vlax-invoke-method dDBX 'Open cFile)
(vla-get-textstring (vla-item (vla-item (vla-get-blocks dDBx) 5) 70))

But it returns the default value of attribute definition. Please help in this.
Thanks in advance

That is because you are getting the value from the Block table and not from the space where the block is located ( insereted ) .
