November/December 1996

This project was developed on a paid basis for a client and has Copyright. These pages are for information purpose only.

DESCRIPTION

The goal was to implement a DLL (dynamic link library, called by my client from a BASIC macro) which quickly retrieves the Document Title (not the filename) of a MS Word document. This information is stored in any MS Office Application according to Microsoft's "Property Set" specification for "Structured Storage" (OLE) files.

TECHNOLOGIES

	low-level OLE functions for "Structured Storage" access
	integration DLL with WordBasic

LOOKING BACK

The goals of the project have been met to the clients satisfaction and the DLL is still in use. During the implementation, a bug in MS Word has been discovered.
