I have a database that collects data on various documentation in my
department. This database stored the information on the document in fields
and also copies the file to the network based on the document number assigned
by the system.
I want to be able to set the file properties of the copied file (e.g. Title,
keywords, etc.) based on the information that has been entered into the
database. I have looked high and low on how to access these properties with
no success. I have seen some examples that allow this from VBA in MS Word
using:
ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties
but am not quite clear on how to make this apply more widely to files of
other types (within and outside office). I am convinced there is an API call
for this if not an even easier way, but i just can't find it.
Thoughts?
