CustomDocumentProperties, BuiltInDocumentProperties

Hi there,

I am using Delphi 2009 (Professional) and Word 2007. I would like to get some information from Word document, like author, how many variables, etc.. My code was working with Delphi 7 and Word 2007, now i've got an error.

My code is :

// this line is for Word_TLB.pas (from Word 2007)
WordApp.Documents.Open(myFile, emptyParam, readOnly, emptyParam, emptyParam,
      emptyParam, emptyParam, emptyParam, emptyParam, emptyParam, emptyParam, emptyParam, emptyParam,
      emptyParam, emptyParam, emptyParam);
OR
// this line is Word2000.pas
WordApp.Documents.Open(myFile, emptyParam, readOnly, emptyParam, emptyParam,
      emptyParam, emptyParam, emptyParam, emptyParam, emptyParam, emptyParam, emptyParam)

aString := WordApp.ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties[wdPropertyAuthor].Value;

in last line I've got an error : EOleException with message 'Unspecified error'.

How can I get this information

Thanks,

Ali Cetinturk
