Joe,

Here is some code to generate a GUID

Private Type GUID
Data1 As Long
Data2 As Integer
Data3 As Integer
Data4(7) As Byte
End Type

Private Declare Function CoCreateGuid Lib "OLE32.DLL" (pGuid As GUID) As
Long

Public Function getGUID(Optional delimited As Boolean = False) As String
Dim udtGUID As GUID

If (CoCreateGuid(udtGUID) = 0) Then

getGUID = _
String(8 - Len(Hex$(udtGUID.Data1)), "0") & Hex$(udtGUID.Data1) & _
String(4 - Len(Hex$(udtGUID.Data2)), "0") & Hex$(udtGUID.Data2) & _
String(4 - Len(Hex$(udtGUID.Data3)), "0") & Hex$(udtGUID.Data3) & _
evalChar(udtGUID.Data4(0)) & Hex$(udtGUID.Data4(0)) & _
evalChar(udtGUID.Data4(1)) & Hex$(udtGUID.Data4(1)) & _
evalChar(udtGUID.Data4(2)) & Hex$(udtGUID.Data4(2)) & _
evalChar(udtGUID.Data4(3)) & Hex$(udtGUID.Data4(3)) & _
evalChar(udtGUID.Data4(4)) & Hex$(udtGUID.Data4(4)) & _
evalChar(udtGUID.Data4(5)) & Hex$(udtGUID.Data4(5)) & _
evalChar(udtGUID.Data4(6)) & Hex$(udtGUID.Data4(6)) & _
evalChar(udtGUID.Data4(7)) & Hex$(udtGUID.Data4(7))
End If

If delimited Then
getGUID = Left(getGUID, 8) & "-" & _
Mid(getGUID, 9, 4) & "-" & _
Mid(getGUID, 13, 4) & "-" & _
Right(getGUID, Len(getGUID) - 17)
End If

End Function

Private Function evalChar(char)
evalChar = IIf(char < &H10, "0", "")
End Function


Here's a function to get the Doc props

I'm using XL 2002 and would like to retrieve a GUID from the system. Does
anyone know an API call that I can use? I would also like to access the
document properties. Does anyone know the VBA required to do so.

Thanks,

Joe

Thank you
