[AccessD] MDB file-level properties

Is it possible to have an mdb's "Database Properties" information (Title,
Subject, Author, Category, etc) pass through to appear at the File
Properties level?

For example, I can enter "MyApp" as the Title in an open database under
Files | Database Properties.  But when I close it, then select the file in
Windows Explorer, and view the Properties, I see that the Title is blank.
The field names are almost entirely consistent between the MDB level and the
file level, but they don't appear to stored in the same place.

The reason I would like this is that a network administrator requested the
version number of our custom application exposed at the file level.  Of
course, I could just type it both places, but I'd rather avoid one extra
step (read: one more potential point of failure) in the distribution
process.
