1.dsofile.dll not working on all files?

Hello everybody!

I used some code for extraction of the doc Properties. It is working great
for some documents and on the other hand it does not work for a bunch of
others.
When I check in the file with Word I find the properties all set but I can't
read them with dsofile.dll :(
Is there any idea? Can I fix this? It's for some hundred documents so if
there is a macro way ;)

Thanks a lot

2.DSOFile.dll or DSOleFile.dll - which one???

I have been pondering over this one all night!! I want to read the
properties of a Word document WITHOUT opening it - notably the title
document. Having read the newsgroups it seems that I neede to download from
the MS site the DSOFile package containing the said DLL. However on looking
in the newsgroups the best option to me seems to be using the
DSOleFile.PropertyReader and then the GetDocumentProperties property, but
this seems to be associated with the DSOleFile.dll file which I do not
have - and cannot find, although this is mentioned in the same postings re
DSOFile.dll. Can someone help me out with this one - I am very confused. As
I understand it of I use DSOFile.dll I would have to open the Word document
before getting the properties. I am accessing maybe up to 100 word documents
at a time across a network and then I want to load the file titles into a
treeview. Help please.

Best wishes

3.DSOFILE DLL

I am using the DSOFILE DLL to read and append file 
properties.  Whenever I access a file this DLL opens it to 
read the properties but leaves it in an open state until I 
select another file.  

How can I close this file after reading the properties?

Thanks for any help

the help of dsofile.dll).
 is there a way on how i can access the path and the name of the document
template ?

thank you very much

5.dsofile.dll

Hi All,

I'm trying to read some custom document properties from MS Word docs from 
within Excel. I've found a VB.NET sample that uses the dsofile.dll and this 
seems to be what I want, but I am not very familiar with VBA, so I'm having 
some difficulty getting the VB.NET code translated to work within VBA.

I've searched around google and have not found anything except that many 
people say that it should be easy to make the dll work using VBA (though I 
haven't seen any proof of how easy it is or that it actually works)

Basically, what I want to do is use a filesearch to generate a foundfiles 
object with all of the word documents in a directory, then loop through the 
files and get the custome properties. Below is what I'm trying.

I get a permission denied error when I get to opening the file. I've tried 
using the ReadOnly options, but VBA complains if I try to add more than just 
the file name argument:

Dim DSO As DSOFile.OleDocumentProperties
Dim CP As DSOFile.CustomProperty

With Application.FileSearch
    .LookIn = ActiveWorkbook.Path
    .FileType = msoFileTypeWordDocuments
    If .Execute > 0 Then
        For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
            Set DSO = CreateObject("DSOFile.OleDocumentProperties")
            DSO.Open (.FoundFiles.Item(i)) 'permission denied
            'DSO.Open(.FoundFiles.Item(i),True) ' VBA error saying it 
expects an =
            For Each CP In DSO
                If CP.Name = "Eval_Period" Then
                    If CP.Value = "4th Quarter, 2005" Then
                        If CP.Name = "TK" Then
                            If CP.Value = "VG" Then
                                TKVG = TKVG + 1
                            ElseIf CP.Value = "G" Then
                                TKG = TKG + 1
                            ElseIf CP.Value = "N" Then
                                TKN = TKN + 1
                            ElseIf CP.Value = "NG" Then
                                TKNG = TKNG + 1
                            End If
                        End If
                    End If
                End If
            Next CP
            DSO.Close
        Next i
    End If
End With

Has anyone used the dsofile.dll in VBA (Excel) with any success? If so, can 
someone give me a little code snippet showing how to use the functions in 
dsofile.dll?

TIA
