Can someone tell me how to access the "Summary" information in a file

property?

That's probably from a Word or Excel file, right? Those are so called
"compound" or "structured storage files", which can be accessed using
the IStorage COM interface.

Read up on structured storage here:

Should be fairly easy to use from .NET directly....

Look at DSOFile its a DLL written by MS to get this info out, as Marc sad
this is "structured storage files" but if your not a C++ person DSOFile can
start you off running.
