CheckIn Method

expression.CheckIn(SaveChanges, Comments, MakePublic)

expression    Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

SaveChanges   Optional Boolean. True saves the presentation to the server location. The default value is False.

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

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

Remarks

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

Example

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

Sub CheckInPresentation(strPresentation As String)
    If Presentations(strPresentation).CanCheckIn = True Then
        Presentations(strPresentation).CheckIn
        MsgBox strPresentation & " has been checked in."
    Else
        MsgBox strPresentation & " cannot be checked in " & _
        "at this time.  Please try again later."
    End If
End Sub
		

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

Sub CheckInPresentation()
    Call CheckInPresentation(strPresentation:= _
        "http://servername/workspace/report.ppt")
End Sub
