Example

This example checks the server to see if the specified document can be checked in and, if it can be, 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 above, use the following subroutine and replace the "http://servername/workspace/report.doc" file name with an actual file located on a server mentioned in the Remarks section above.

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