Get File Info FROM Properties

[Idris]

Can anyone tell me a sample code on how to write/develope the Advance file properties like....

File version
Description
Internal Name
Product name

I have seen different types of files properties some has additional features while some has none - its just click once on any file and then click the right hand side mouse button and select the properties that will display all the information about the files click on second tab version (if there) will tell you the additional info about the file.

Visual Basic offers those file properties options when you compile the project, but Office does not offer that option with their [mdb, xls, doc] files.

Since we are using VB

Is it possible to develope this properties for office files like (.mdb .mde .xls .doc ) ?

More over using windows explorer - when we move the mouse over the file it displays the file properties, some files displays the Name, File Version etc...

How can we achieve these -

API might be the solution - but i dont know how?

Access using Visual Basic for Applicaitons. Simular but not the same as using the Visual Basic program to create and make a project [compile] executables.

Try googling and searching Visual Basic specific sites for there just might be an API out there that will do what you want [but I do not think it is possible].
