Default CustomDocumentProperties problem...

You don't have to use VBA, as you noticed, the correct value is returned
when you looked up the property in Excel. If you want to manipulate the
value in VBA, then indeed you do have to use VBA, but that is self-evident
isn't it, not peculiar to this situation. You could save it in a

worksheet,
but you have to take up worksheet space with that, document properties you
don't.

It is all really a matter of appropriateness IMO, are you just trying to
store a value, if so use a worksheet or an Excel name, or are you defining
an attribute of the workbook, such as your company which owns it or
somesuch, in which case use the properties. The other thing to remember is
that is you use the properties, you can see those from Windows Explorer
without opening the spreadsheet.


Bob,

thanks for your answer!
