Inherit Property

Sets or returns a value that indicates whether new Document objects will inherit a default Permissions property setting (Microsoft Jet workspaces only).

Settings and Return Values

The setting or return value is a Boolean data type. If you set the property to True, Document objects inherit a default Permissions property setting.

Remarks

Use the Inherit property in conjunction with the Permissions property to define what permissions new documents will automatically have when they're created. If you set the Inherit property to True, and then set a permission on a container, then whenever a new document is created in that container, that permission will be set on the new document. This is a very convenient way of presetting permissions on an object.

Setting the Inherit property will not affect existing documents in the container ? you can't modify all the permissions on all existing documents in a container by setting the Inherit property and a new permission. It will affect only new documents that are created after the Inherit property is set.
