CustomDocumentProperties

[Philippe Mermoud]

After having added a custom document property (using "Add") how can I know
whether it is or not in my document ? If I call Add again it crashes down
saying the property exists already.

Can't you trap the error number of the failed .Add method?

Dim Flag As Boolean, prop As CustomProperty
Flag = False
For Each prop In ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties
If prop.Name = "mycustomproperty" Then
Flag = True
End If
Next
If Flag = True Then
MsgBox "The Custom Property exists."
Else
MsgBox "The Custom Property does not exist."
End If

I'm not that expert in VBA. I know the trap mechanism but it exists in VBA ?
How can I use it ?
