I am trying to acquire file properties such as Title, Subject, Author, Copyright, Comments and the various file dates. Other properties would be nice, but not required. My searches all seem to lead to variations of the code I found here as well as here. Copying and pasting the code, I had to do a bit of tweaking to make it work at all. I was finally able to get it to partially work, but only on .doc files. Other files produced "EOleSysError with message '%1 could not be found'". I thought this related to compound files, but the same error occurred with .docx and .xls files.
I have tried STGFMT_STORAGE, STGFMT_FILE, STGFMT_ANY, and STGFMT_DOCFILE, but the only one that works is STGFMT_ANY. Again, that only works on .doc files. Even on .doc files, it doesn't return dates, although I have only treated them as string values. Here's my code, and the results.

STGFMT_STORAGE = 0; {Indicates that the file must be a compound file}
STGFMT_FILE = 3; {Indicates that the file must not be a compound file.
This element is only valid when using the StgCreateStorageEx
or StgOpenStorageEx functions to access the NTFS file system
implementation of the IPropertySetStorage interface.
Therefore, these functions return an error if the riid
parameter does not specify the IPropertySetStorage interface,
or if the specified file is not located on an NTFS file system volume.}
STGFMT_ANY = 4; {Indicates that the system will determine the file type and
use the appropriate structured storage or property set
implementation.
This value cannot be used with the StgCreateStorageEx function.}
STGFMT_DOCFILE = 5; {Indicates that the file must be a compound file, and is
similar to the STGFMT_STORAGE flag, but indicates that the
compound-file form of the compound-file implementation must
be used. For more information}
