Restore Method

Microsoft Office Visual Basic

Restore Method

Restores a previous saved version of a shared document from the DocumentLibraryVersions collection.

expression.Restore()

expression    Required. An expression that returns a DocumentLibraryVersion object.

Remarks

Use the Restore method to return to an earlier saved version of the active document. The Restore method does several things:

  1. It changes the open version of the shared document to read-only mode but leaves it open.
  2. It opens the restored version in read/write mode.
  3. It saves the restored version to the server as a new document version, making the restored version the latest version.

The Restore method raises a run-time error if the active document has changes that have not been saved.

Example

The following example restores the previous version of the active document.

        Dim dlvVersions As Office.DocumentLibraryVersions
    Set dlvVersions = ActiveDocument.DocumentLibraryVersions
    dlvVersions(dlvVersions.Count - 1).Restore
    Set dlvVersions = Nothing
