Didn't I say that - Be aware that that will still require forcing a
calculation for the cell to update.

Hello guys,
I found the answer for my other part of my question.

I'll will also need to make sure the spreadsheet is updated manually. To
do
this-
Click on <Tools<Options<Calculations<Manual
OR <F9

Thanks again.

no luck, i've tried to save the and re-open the file, still i don't see
the
updated "file property" value getting refreshed, i would have to revisit
the
cell and refresh it manually :(

Let me try to explain once again what i'm really searching for!

* there are many places in Excel sheets where i user many common fields
(client/author/filepath/release version/base version/baselined
date/ect), now
all i'm trying to achive is to store all these common things into
custom/file
properties, just like i do in MSWord, and go on referencing this
custom/file
properties.

now with your approach i'm able to retrive my own defined custom
properties,
but if i make any changes to these fields, this value is not getting
reflected no matter what i do, unless i revisit the cell and manually
refresh
it!

hope you know what i'm trying to achive here.

Thanks again,
-KC

Try:

Function CustomProperty(sProp As String) As Variant
Application.Volatile
CustomProperty = ActiveWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties(sProp)
End Function
