File Summary Property .dll

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.file_system (More info?)

I am using LabVIEW 7 to log data into various datafiles. I want to modify the
file summary properties from within LabVIEW to be able to sort the datafiles
more easily. For example, I'd like to add something to the comment field
under File->Properties->Summary, but programmatically within LabVIEW. To do
this I need to be able to access a .dll file with functions to modify these
file parameters. After several hours of searching I have found windows
application specific commands in visual basic. For example, there are VB
commands specifically written for Word-files to change these file properties.

Does anyone know of a DLL file with these type of commands applicable to all
files?

Thank you.
