Yes I looked at that FSO code but since it wont allow the properties I
set programmatically to b e seen in Explorer, that would not be an
option, since being able to see the properties is the desired result.

I have DSO OLE Document Properties Reader 2.1, so I assume 2.1 is
compatable with 2.0?

Also I checked the files and opened them in text editor, however I
could find no code for reading or writing properties to/from a closed
file.
Can you provide any code?

Thanks
