Need help with VB, get and paste a custom property

Aug 01, 2005 2 Replies

I have a macro I wrote to fill out a form in our PDM system. One of the fields in the form is "Description". I want to grab the description custom property for the document and paste it in the field on the form.



I eventually want to setup our PDM system to grab all of the custom property info from the document automatically, but I need this macro for the time being.



Can someone help me out? Thanks.



Do you mean a SW custom property named "Description", or the generic file property?

If you want the generic property, you probably need the DSOfile object. Go to msdn.com and search for "DSOfile".
