Remarks

The variable to hold the data must be of IPropertySet data type.

The metadata property is frequently used to save, or update, changes to metadata documents that have taken place through methods available on the IPropertySet, IXmlPropertySet, and/or  IXmlPropertySet2 interfaces.

    Dim pMD As IMetadata
    Dim pPS As IPropertySet
    Dim pXPS As IXmlPropertySet
    
    Set pMD = pGxObj
    Set pPS = pMD.metadata
    Set pXPS = pPS

    pXPS.deleteProperty "idinfo/citation/citeinfo/title"

    'Changes are saved
    pMD.metadata = pPS
