Comments property of a .xls file

[Tipi]

I am trying to get the "COMMENTS" property of a file. I mean, I am looking for the value which is displayed in the "Comments" textbox when you right-click on a file, ask for its properties and select the "Summary" tab.

I know there is a way to do it with the VBScript FSOs but I would prefer using an API.

Thanks in advance,

You can get to it by accessing the worksheet.comments collection. Just loop through it and access each comment. If you need code, let me know.

If will not be suitable in my case. I am in VB when I want to access the comments and I do not want to use Excel classes.

In fact, I would like to be able to retrieve the comments properties from any file (.xls, .doc, .rpt) without having to open it...

Thanks
