CustomDocumentProperties Property [Excel 2003 VBA Language Reference]

  • Article

Returns or sets a DocumentProperties collection that represents all the custom document properties for the specified workbook.

expression.CustomDocumentProperties

expression Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Remarks

This property returns the entire collection of custom document properties. Use the Item method to return a single member of the collection (a DocumentProperty object) by specifying either the name of the property or the collection index (as a number).

Because the Item method is the default method for the DocumentProperties collection, the following statements are identical:

CustomDocumentProperties.Item("Complete")
CustomDocumentProperties("Complete")

Use the BuiltinDocumentProperties property to return the collection of built-in document properties.

Properties of type msoPropertyTypeString cannot exceed 255 characters in length.

Example

This example displays the names and values of the custom document properties as a list on worksheet one.

rw = 1
Worksheets(1).Activate
For Each p In ActiveWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties
    Cells(rw, 1).Value = p.Name
    Cells(rw, 2).Value = p.Value
    rw = rw + 1
Next
