That not quite as easy as it first seems... it will require a COM-based reference to dsofile.dll that you can download here: &nbsp;<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9BA6FAC6-520B-4A0A-878A-53EC8300C4C2&displaylang=en" rel="ugc">http://www.microsoft.com/d<wbr />ownloads/d<wbr />etails.asp<wbr />x?FamilyId<wbr />=9BA6FAC6-<wbr />520B-4A0A-<wbr />878A-53EC8<wbr />300C4C2&amp;di<wbr />splaylang=<wbr />en</a><br />
However, if &quot;they&quot; won't let you use WMI (which is already installed), then what's the chance they'd let you install a DLL?<br />

However, if "they" won't let you use WMI (which is already installed), then what's the chance they'd let you install a DLL?

They will not. The references on thsi project I am on are already scrwed up beyond belief. I thought about the dsofile.dll a while back and tried to get permission and they would not.

Hello All,<br />
<br />
I need to when creating or listing a file I need to be able to read or write the file summary properties (when you right click on file and select &quot;Properties&quot; and &quot;Summary&quot;.) so I can read this information into a datatable. I can't use WMI because boss won't allow the reference to be added to project.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your help.
