Looking for a way to read document properties for a Word Document.

In particular I want to be able to read the "revision number"

Click to expand...

If you download dsofile from the Microsoft website, you will find that the
package includes both VB6 and VB.NET source for the sample app. It shouldn't
be that hard to adapt the VB6 code to VBScript.

Also, if you only want to read the built-in properties, and don't need
either to write any property or to access the custom properties, then you
can use the ExtendedProperty method of the ShellFolder object in
Shell32.dll.
