I need to organize thousands of word documents in a online library I call
document Bank.
I plan to use the Word file properties to code keywords and other searcing
criteria.
Now, how can I retieve programmatically this data so I can prepare a simple
interface for user to search the documents in this library?
I am new to windows programming.

Actually, I would suggest you don't bother. Instead, go to the Google
website and download the Google Desktop Search tool, and let that do the
work for you.

Alternatively, if you have a workgroup that you want to share access to the
documents, and you have a machine running Windows Server 2003, then you can
set up Windows Sharepoint Services on the server at no additional cost. WSS
is designed for just the kind of application you appear to be wanting.
