Sync.PutUpdate method (Office)

Updates the server copy of the shared document with the local copy.

Syntax

expression.PutUpdate

expression A variable that represents a Sync object.

Remarks

The PutUpdate method can encounter a conflict condition if the client is unaware of recent changes to the server copy of the shared document. Call the GetUpdate method before calling PutUpdate to refresh the status of the server copy and to detect a possible conflict.

The PutUpdate method raises a run-time error if the local document has unsaved changes.

Not all document synchronization problems raise trappable run-time errors. After performing an operation by using the Sync object, it's a good idea to check the Status property; if the Status property is msoSyncStatusError, check the ErrorType property for additional information about the type of error that has occurred.

In many circumstances, the best way to resolve an error condition is to call the GetUpdate method. For example, if a call to PutUpdate results in an error condition, a call to GetUpdate will reset the status to msoSyncStatusLocalChanges.

Example

The following example updates the server copy of the document from the local copy by using the PutUpdate method if the local copy has been edited.

    Dim objSync As Office.Sync 
    Dim strStatus As String 
    Set objSync = ActiveDocument.Sync 
    If objSync.Status = msoSyncStatusLocalChanges Then 
        objSync.PutUpdate 
        strStatus = "Local changes saved to server." 
        MsgBox strStatus, vbInformation + vbOKOnly, "Sync Information" 
    End If 
    Set objSync = Nothing
