Am working on a small bit of code that produces a list of all files inside a designated folder. It puts the list into excel with some of the file summary items ie title, author.
Am currently using FileSystemObject to get the info.
I then want to do some modifications by hand.
After the modification I then want to populate changes back to the file.

I can get the summary of the file but I would not have a clue how to save the changes back.
Anyone have any code that can show me how to modify the summary of a file in VBA?
 
Here are your choices.

1. Using DSO, as PHV points you to to.

2. Actually opening the file, writing to the properties, saving and closing the file.

I do not know of any other method.
