Accesing Office Document Properties with ASP

[StrongBad]

Does anyone know of a way to access the document properties of an office
document using ASP? I need to be able to read things like the Title,
Author, and Comments fields and pull that information into a web page.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

I've never played with this, but you could try it out:

Sample code:

<%
Dim oDSO, oProps
Set oDSO = CreateObject("DSOleFile.PropertyReader")
Set oProps = oDSO.GetDocumentProperties("C:\Path\To\Your\file.d oc")

Response.Write "Title: " & oProps.Title & "<br>"
Response.Write "Author: " & oProps.Author & "<br>"
Response.Write "Comments: " & oProps.Comments

Set oProps = Nothing
Set oDSO = Nothing
%>

I've used it and it works very well.

I played around with it a bit last night then, and I have to say that I'm
pretty excited about it! The things that bring me joy.... Sigh
