How do i set the author?
Each time i try to set the author via ExcelFile.DocProps.Creator = 'xxx' , procedure TXc12DocProps.SetCreator restursn nil for DocPropsCore.Root.Find('dc:creator');, so the author is not set.

Hello

Fixed in update 5.20.11

Thank you .Works now for xlsx files but unfortunately not for xls files.
Also I cannot set the author or the lastModified property (xlsx/xls) if i write into an already existing file.

Hello

You can't set these kind of properties for xls files as they uses a completely different interface that is not supported.

[d3nton]

OKay thanks. What about changing the author/lastModifiedBy in an already existing file?
How can I do this?

[d3nton]
