If you want to update the Author of an Excel worksheet, call the code as I did in the "Usage" sections listed below each procedure. You'll have to adapt the code to your particular situation, however. Check out the code in the blog post, one of the examples is exactly one you've asked about.

Bascially, I would like to be able to access the document properties stored in a share-point server via EXCEL VBA. Any pointers would be greatly apprecaited.

In fact, if you leave it as <strong>Format</strong> and try to use the actual reserved word "Format" elsewhere in the same project, you'll get errors. The word in the enumeration actually doesn't matter, so you can change it to anything. I'll update the code above. This is probably happening because Format is a reserved word in VBA.

I've added a GetDocProp (read a property) and SetDocProp (set a variable to a document property) using the same enumeration structure. Two issues: 1. The enumberation element "Format" caused compile errors (conflict with the VBA format function) in my code so I commented it out. 2. #1 was a bad idea, of course, since the enumerations resolve to integer index values, and any docprop greater than "Format" was incorrectly referenced. Resolved that by using "VBA.Format" for the format function. Any idea why there is a conflict for the "Format" enumeration element? @JP: I like the work you've done – so I adopted Version 2.
