Word Documents

Question

I have to get the last updated date of many, many word documents. These documents are decoded from attachments in email (not read from a disk file). I am using CDO and ADO to read in *.eml files, using 'getstream' on the IBodyParts. This allows be to get a stream (decoded) of the word document. I must get the date here, because if I write it to disk, then use the Word objects to read in the document, the dates reflect the date and time of this last save. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure I understand you correctly. There's no reason you can't run this batch file whether you have Visual studio or not, unless it doesn't come with Visual Studio. (I have VS, so I don't know if it comes with the SDK or the Studio), but since you know what it does, why can't you write your own or just set the vars in the Windows environment? All I see is a bunch of environment variables being set. You can set any environment variables you want to by writing your own batch file or set then in the windows environment (this sets them automatically for every DOS window every time you boot): 1) right click on MY COMPUTER, select properties. 2) click on the ADVANCED TAB, then ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 3) Locate the env var in question and modify it. If not found, create a new one. 4) close all DOS windows and open a new one for changes to take effect. Is that what you're asking?
