pdmwork properties questions

[Dtown266]

im trying to write a macro to changes the description property of a document while it is in the vault.

I can't seem to figure it out anyone trying this already.

thanks

Hi found an old bit of code...might be rickety but it seems to work - assuming you're using PDMW not PDMWE

It assumes that you've already connected to the vault..as MyConnection

Dim MyDoc as PDMWDocument
Dim errorcode

Set MyDoc = MyConnection.GetSpecificDocument("put doc name here")

MyDoc.TakeOwnerShip

MyDoc.Properties.Add("Name of property goes here")
MyDoc.Properties("Name of property goes here") = "New property value"

errorcode = MyDoc.Properties.Update()

MyDoc.ReleaseOwnerShip

As I said, this is old and needs tidying, but it should hopefully work.

Regards

I should add that you may need to manually refresh your vault in order to see the changes.

i didn't know you needed to update the vault.
