AutoCad Properties

Hi

I am trying to access the file properties of an autocad dwg, but autocad installs its own file attributes section. When you right click it you see two summary pages a custom page and statistics. Is there anyway to access this information from vb .net

Thanks
Adam

Just another bit of info,

If you put information in the summary section of the file it can't be accessed by the normal means of getting file attributes in vb.

I do not know if this will help but,
I had to use the micro$oft reference file DSOleFile.dll to get to to the file properties.
 It might work with AutoCad but I have not tried it.
