Can't set BuiltInDocumentProperties via automation?

[kiln]

Not sure what this is all about. I need to set the value in the built in
author property from Access 2000 (Word 2000). In word I can successfully
reference the properties like so:

If ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Author") = "me" then
...

I've tried all the options I can come up with from Access (late bound)
and all fail with

Object doesn't support this property or method (Error 438)

objWord.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Author") = "me"
objWord.BuiltInDocumentProperties(3) = "me"

3 = wdPropertyAuthor a constant that word can use if the lib is
available.

Anyways is there some reason that the built in props can't be tweaked
from outside? Thanks

Hi,
I guess, you are trying to address the word object
instead of the document object.
