Required/Optional

Data Type

Description

SaveChanges

Optional

Boolean

True saves the document to the server location. The default is True.

MakePublic

Optional

Boolean

True allows the user to perform a publish on the document after being checked in. This submits the document for the approval process, which can eventually result in a version of the document being published to users with read-only rights to the document (only applies if SaveChanges equals True).

Comments

Optional

Variant

Comments for the revision of the document being checked in (only applies if SaveChanges equals True).

VersionType

Optional

Variant

Specifies versioning information for the document.

Remarks

To take advantage of the collaboration features built into Microsoft Word, documents must be stored on a Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server.

Example

This example checks the server to see if the specified document can be checked in. If it can be, it saves and closes the document and checks it back into the server.

Sub CheckInOut(docCheckIn As String) 
 If Documents(docCheckIn).CanCheckin = True Then 
 Documents(docCheckIn).CheckIn 
 MsgBox docCheckIn & " has been checked in." 
 Else 
 MsgBox "This file cannot be checked in " & 
 "at this time. Please try again later." 
 End If 
End Sub

To call the CheckInOut subroutine, use the following subroutine and replace "https://servername/workspace/report.doc" with the file name of an actual file located on the server mentioned in the Remarks section above.

Sub CheckDocInOut() 
 Call CheckInOut (docCheckIn:="https://servername/workspace/report.doc") 
End Sub
