XLS File properties...

Friends.....here's the challenge ! I have been blowing my head on this one
and I really appreciate any help.

I am trying to figure out if I can attach a string to an excel file's custom
property or add a comment or so to the file's summary properties without
using the Excel reference/classes in VB.Net

Thanks in advance !

You're going to have to be a bit more specific. Is this to be inserted into
a worksheet?

I've never found a way of doing this without automating Excel, opening
the workbook and using the workbook's BuiltinDocumentProperties
collection.
