Thanks Gary,

Actually I will need to be able to bring in these column names
(Author, Title, Subject, Comments, etc...) into the column header of
an Explorer window.
All the files I will be dealing with here are saved emails and I will
need to update these properties. The purpose is to then go to that
saved directory where all the emails are and be able to sort/filter
the emails based on these properties.
So they will have to be able to be seen in Explorer. Is this what you
mean when you say "viewed in Explorer"?

Thanks

Yes. If you right-click a column header in Explorer you'll see a
dropdown list of optional columns to display. Windows remembers these
for each folder. Optionally, you can set up one folder how you want the
columns to display and then set all folders the same via the option in
the FolderOptions dialog.

What did you think about the FSO solution I posted?

I did some more review of Chip's code and conclude that it was created
for DSO1.4 and not DSO2.0, and so is why it doesn't work. You do know
that when you installed DSO2.0 it put sample code in the Source
subfolder. Unfortunately, you need VB6 to use the demo but you can
still view the code using a text editor. To do this, right-click the
file 'Source\Vb6Demo\FileProp.frm' and open it with Notepad. This demos
how to use DSO2.0 in VB/VBA. Just so you know.., DSO2.0 was released
for use by .Net apps and this is why the DSO1.4 code won't work with
DSO2.0.
