checking new docs into vault
i can check-in documents into the vault that are already in the vault by taking the ownership and then use check-in. when i try to check a new file into the vault i can not find the code for taking ownership of a new document that is on my c drive nor can i vault it.
does anyone know how to do this?
thanks

i cannot seem to find any way to add a file to the vault through the api. are you sure workgroup has this possibility?
this is the first time i have tried to put documents into the vault.
copied the following from the api help for checkin:
this method only works on computers where both the pdmworks workgroup contributor or addin client software and pdmworks workgroup api dll are installed.
i guess it is time to contact my var and find out if i have these on my machine.

dan,
i have done this for a couple macros using the checkin command. have you been able to use api to check in documents that are already in the vault?
a couple thoughts:
1. you don't need to take ownership of a document that is not already in the vault; you will naturally have right access already.
2. the new file must be saved to your hard drive before you can check it in using api because you need to give the checkin command a filename with full path.
if you could post your code, i'd be willing to look it over.

thanks for your offer to look at the code but when i opened the program and ran it just now it worked just like i thought it should. i did change the name of the project folder but i'm sure that the other name should have been good. i added the three main line of code but like i said they work fine.
set conn = createobject("pdmworks.pdmwconnection")
conn.login username, password, vaultcomputer
conn.checkin tempdir & filename, "sample", "111", "testpart", "cc", other, "01", "p", false, nothing
thanks

dan,
i'm glad to hear that you got it working. your code looks great to me. the only thing i can think of that changing the project folder would affect is if the user you were signing on as didn't have vault priveledges to that particular folder. i'd think that an error message would've popped up for that, though. oh well. much luck to you!
