Word Documents and Dates

[mjackson]

I am using CDO and ADO to parse *.eml files. These emails have attachments that are MS Word documents (encoded). I can get an ADO stream of the document in decoded format. From this stream I need to extract the document dates (saved, created, updated). I must get the dates from the stream, I cannot write to file, then open using the Word objects, because as soon as I write the stream to disk to save it, all the dates reflect the date and time I just wrote it.

Info such as byte offset of dates or some API to read the dates would be helpful.

Any ideas.

Thanks
