Search this group for DSOLE file. You can use this free utility through API to read in the custom properties really quickly from a folder. It has been explained many times with example code. Then putting the into excel isn't too hard. I would run the whole thing through an excel macro, Unless you have to open each part and get Config Specific Custom Props.
Dim StartCell as Range Dim ListofProps as Variant Dim count as long
startCell = Excel.activesheet.range("A1") count = 0 For count = 0 to ubound(ListOfProps) 'fill column A with the data from your Array startCell.offset(count+1,0).value2 = ListOfProps(count) next
