Example

As it applies to the DocumentProperty object.

This example displays the name, type, and value of a document property. For the example to work, dp must be a valid DocumentProperty object.

Sub DisplayPropertyInfo(dp As DocumentProperty)
    MsgBox "value = " & dp.Value & Chr(13) & _
        "type = " & dp.Type & Chr(13) & _
        "name = " & dp.Name
End Sub

As it applies to the PropertyTest object.

This example displays the value of the search criteria (if it exists) in a message box. If the second value doesn't exist, the example displays another message.

With Application.FileSearch.PropertyTests(1)
    If .Value = "" Then
       MsgBox "You haven't specified a value."
    Else
        MsgBox "The value you've set is: " _
            & .Value
    End If
End With
