HTH,
Barb Reinhardt

Here's the rest of my message.

I've used VBA in Excel 2003 to retrieve Custom document properties and it
works well. However, when I'm testing my file in 2007, it gets held up here

Set objDocProperties = CreateObject("DSOFile.OleDocumentProperties")

I've got the reference set for DSO OLE Document Properties reader 2.1
within the VBE

In this KB article ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224351 ) it states
that it should work if I have the compatibility pack installed. Every time I
open EXcel 2007 it shows COMPATIBILITY mode at the top, so I have to assume
it's there.

Can someone assist? I use this macro once a month to pull data for an
operations review and there is no way I can go back to doing it manually.

Thanks,

Barb Reinhardt

Compatibility mode is different that the Compatibility Pack. If you have
the later installed you can open Excel 2007 files (XLSX, etc.) in Excel
2003. If in doubt try to install it again.

The following works for me. If you have a reference set to the DSO 2.1
library, you can explicitly declare the variable rather than using
CreateObject.

Dim DSO As DSOFile.OleDocumentProperties
Set DSO = New DSOFile.OleDocumentProperties
DSO.Open "C:\Books.xls"
Debug.Print DSO.CustomProperties("TestProp")
Debug.Print DSO.SummaryProperties.Author
DSO.Close

With CreateObject, use

Dim DSO As Object
Set DSO = CreateObject("DSOFile.OleDocumentProperties")
DSO.Open "C:\Books.xls"
Debug.Print DSO.CustomProperties("TestProp")
Debug.Print DSO.SummaryProperties.Author
DSO.Close

What error do you get (or do you just get no property values) when you run
the code in 2007?
