    Changing the properties of a word document

    I want to change the property title in a word document I am generating via VBA and I have been looking out on the web for some examples.

    I found the following code but it doesn't seem to work.

    .ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyTitle) = ""

    Is this the correct method? If not could you point me in the right direction?

    Thanks,
    DL

    Edit: I'm using office 2003

    Re: Changing the properties of a word document

    are you calling this code from within the word document or from an external app?

    can you post your code and what the error is?

    Re: Changing the properties of a word document

    The whole document of code is too big to post here, I just need to know the correct method to change the properties of of a word document using vba.

    Using the code above calling it from an external app, the error I get is "invalid procedure call or arguement"

    Thanks for the help. I am not using vb.net
