Dim instance As Sync

void PutUpdate()
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 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 on 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, then a call to GetUpdate will reset the status to msoSyncStatusLocalChanges.
