Re: [MS_AccessPros] REtrieving file properties in Access

 

hi Art,

this free tool loads files and uses Wayne Phillips' amazing tool to get extended file information:

here is Wayne's link to get the tool, which is also in the Listfiles database:

He has instructions for using it, and there is also some great information in the comments.

respectfully,
crystal

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] REtrieving file properties in Access

 

I have a form called frmDocuments and on the form is a webroweser control called wbDocViewer and a text box called txtFilePath  (Recordsource: DOCLOCATION). The forms record source is tvlDocumentMain.  I can view the document in the web browser control no problem But What I would like to do is pull in file properties about the document (eg. CreationDate, Modified Date, Creator, etc). Can you advise me on how to do that. Each of the properties would go into its own unbound textbox by the way.

Thank you,

Arthur Lorenzini
