Extracting file information

[Guest]

In VBA for Powerpoint, how do I capture the "Date Picture Taken" that I see
in Windows Explorer?

If this is not the proper place to post this question, please point me to
the right place.

Thanks

the 'date picture taken' data I believe is embedded inside each picture file
using something called EXIF

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif

I don't believe VBA has access to this data.

Hi,

As a curiosity, vba code to find document properties is:

Sub doco_properties()
For Each p In Application.ActivePresentation _
.BuiltInDocumentProperties
bidpList = bidpList & p.Name & Chr$(13)
Next
MsgBox bidpList
End Sub

It's a more general VBA/VB question, but we're not fussy. You wanna do it from
within PPT, that's close enough.

See if something here helps:
