Hello,

Do you know how, in vba, to get the advanced properties of a closed .docx document?



CreateObject("Scripting.fileSystemObject") ou CreateObject("Shell.Application") allows you to get some standard properties, but not all the properties found (dor example the name of the Modele .dotm) in the Details tab of the Properties window for a file (i.e.: right click on the file, then Properties, then the Details tab)

Greetings,
David

Hi,

If I don't find a solution, I'll add a keyword during the creation of the document with: myDoc.BuiltInDocumentProperties("Keywords").Value = myKwd, so I can retrieve it even if the file is closed. It's a bit of a fiddle but it should do the trick.

Have a nice day,
David

Do some googling for DSOFile.dll, which lets you read properties from docs without opening them. See if it does what you need.

Thanks for your feedback, Stuart_C2!

Do you know where I can find this dll in a secure way?

Best,
David
