Actually 'Set' the document properties (title)

[PaulMac]

Hi,

I use:

ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyTitle) =
rs.Fields("fldClaimantLName")

to set the document title property.

I would like when the user clicks file send as attachment...that this
value shows up as the subject of the new email.

the problem: it only works if the user actually clicks
file/properties/ok first.

otherwise the subject is blank...

any ideas to hard set this property?

thanks,
Paul

Hi PaulMac,

If this works the same way as for the Save As name, then you should
find an article on the mvps.org/word site written by "Ibby" that covers
this. You have to get to it over a different route, but the details
don't come to mind, at the moment. Best I can recall, it involves using
executing CommandBar command, rather than setting the property
directly.

ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyTitle) =
rs.Fields("fldClaimantLName")

to set the document title property.

I would like when the user clicks file send as attachment...that this
