HI, I´M NEEDING HELP FOR GETTING THE \"LAST SAVED BY\" FOR A SHARE
EXCEL FILE AND PLACE IT IN A CELL...

SO FAR I COULD GET THE \"AUTHOR\" NAME WITH
_=GETPROPERTY(\\"AUTHOR\\")__USING THE FOLLOWING PUBLIC FUNCTION

-Public Function GetProperty(P As String, Optional WorkbookName A
Variant)
Dim S As Variant
Dim WB As Workbook
On Error Resume Next
If IsMissing(WorkbookName) Then
If TypeOf Application.Caller Is Range Then
Set WB = Application.Caller.Parent.Parent
Else
Set WB = ActiveWorkbook
End If
Else
Set WB = Workbooks(WorkbookName)
End If
S = WB.CustomDocumentProperties(P)
If S < "" Then
GetProperty = S
Exit Function
End If
On Error GoTo EndMacro
GetProperty = WB.BuiltinDocumentProperties(P)
Exit Function
EndMacro:
GetProperty = ""
End Function-

THANKS :) IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP YOU MAY SEND.

Use Last Author rather than Author.

THANK YOU, VERY MUCH BOB...

I'VE TRYED, AND IT DID WORK IN THE LOCAL COMPUTER(WHERE THE FILE IS),
WHEN I MAKE THE CHANGES ON A NETWORKED COMPUTER AND SAVED IT, IT KEEPS
ALWAYS THE LOCAL USER'S NAME EVEN THOUGH THE \"FILE PROPERTIES -
STATISTICS\" SHOWS THE REMOTE COMPUTER'S USER NAME...

ANY IDEA WHY IT DOES NOT UPDATE THE \"LAST AUTHOR\" NAME?

REGARDS, AND THANKS AGAIN...

Can you turn off Caps Lock please?

I don't understand your point. What Remote user?
