MS Access Forum / Modules / DAO / VBA / November 2006Getting File Attributes
Access 2003. How can I programmatically retrieve file attributes (properties) of any file (not just Access files)? I want to query a specific property of a file, in particular the "Revision Number" found under the Summary tab>Advanced. Thanks for any help you can give. God bless.

Any other suggestions. We are here in an Access NG, we're using VBA... mfG --> stefan <-- Dear Stefan: I used the Access Programming forum because I could find no forum for Visual Studio Express (Visual Basic). I figured that the code for reading file attributes in Access VBA would work in Visual Studio. This has generally been the case. The example you linked me to was a class module and had syntax that is obsolete. I did not know what to do with the class module. Pasting it into my Visual Basic project and it just would not work. Is there not a simple call that can retrieve all or part of a file's properties? I need to get the information found on the Summary tab of the file properties. Thanks for any help you can give. God bless.

Ok. There are the microsoft.public.vb.* groups. > I figured that the code for reading file > attributes in Access VBA would work in Visual Studio. Why didn't you say that earlier? You have an own class for that: System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.fileversio ninfo.aspx > Thanks for any help you can give. God bless. I will see. mfG --> stefan <-- |
