Database utility for looking at drawing info

Database utility for looking at drawing info

Database utility for looking at drawing info

(OP)
Here is my question:
Is there a program or utility which will display all the drawings in a given folder and show them in a database or spreadsheet format kind of like Explorer?
The first column might be the drawing name, then the title, size, total minutes edited, version number, person's name, etc. In other words, all the data showing in Notepad but in separate columns.

It would be useful for managing large numbers of drawings.

Thanks in advance.

RE: Database utility for looking at drawing info

If you search on google you can find VBA code for Excel to list files in a folder (I've found it in the past), will only give you the standard information that is available through windows explorer.
