    Is there a way to enger custom properties to parts without opening the
    files in SolidWorks? Does someone have vb code for this?

    Thanks

    Go to msdn.microsoft.com and find the "dsofile" control. This control
    gives access to a file's custom properties without opening the file in
    application. Once the control is installed, add a reference to it in
    the VB project. Only works for general properties, not
    configuration-specific properties.

    just be careful with dsofile - I have seen some cases where it doesn't
    always release references to the file - especially when used with .NET.
