RDL file not maintaining Extended File Properties

Please try this if you want...
1 For a .RDL file, right click on the file its self and select
"properties"
2 Click the "Summary" tab and enter information in any of the text
fields (Subject, author, ...)
3 Save it and then copy the file on another computer, is your metadata
missing just like mine?
It seems to be saving it somehow locally, but does not transfer with
the file. What gives?
We were originally trying to add some of the install info in here, but
seems to only be local.
Weird thing is... if you look at the same file over the network from
another computer, the information looks to be there, it looses it when
copied.oh well. I just found out why. This data is actually stored in NTFS
and is not in the file. Any time the file is copied into source safe
or email all properties are lost.
