Can I (both read and) set the 'Title' attribute for a file using VBA ? Is
it
possible ?

If not, are you aware of any alternative tools I might use ?

I need to open a file, search for a string in that file, get the value
next
to that string then set the 'Title' attribute of the file to the value
found.

Thanks, Eric.
