Sync.Status property (Office)
Gets the status of the synchronization of the local copy of the active document with the server copy. Read-only.
Note
Beginning with Microsoft Office 2010, this object or member has been deprecated and should not be used.
Syntax
expression.Status
expression Required. A variable that represents a Sync object.
Remarks
Use the Status property to determine whether the local copy of the active document is synchronized with the shared server copy. Use the GetUpdate method to refresh the status.
Use the following methods and properties when appropriate to respond to various status conditions:
msoSyncStatusConflict. True when both the local and the server copies have changes. Use the ResolveConflict method to resolve the differences.
msoSyncStatusError. Check the ErrorType property.
msoSyncStatusLocalChanges. True when only the local copy has changes. Use the PutUpdate method to save local changes to the server copy.
msoSyncStatusNewerAvailable. True when only the server copy has changes. Close and re-open the document to work with the latest copy from the server.
msoSyncStatusSuspended. Use the Unsuspend method to resume synchronization.
The Status property returns a single constant from the list in the following order of precedence:
msoSyncStatusNoSharedWorkspace
msoSyncStatusError
msoSyncStatusSuspended
msoSyncStatusConflict
msoSyncStatusNewerAvailable
msoSyncStatusLocalChanges
msoSyncStatusLatest
Example
The following example examines the Status property and takes an appropriate action to synchronize the local and server copies of the document if necessary.
Dim objSync As Office.Sync
Dim strStatus As String
Set objSync = ActiveDocument.Sync
If objSync.Status > msoSyncStatusNoSharedWorkspace Then
Select Case objSync.Status
Case msoSyncStatusConflict
objSync.ResolveConflict msoSyncConflictMerge
ActiveDocument.Save
objSync.ResolveConflict msoSyncConflictClientWins
strStatus = "Conflict resolved by merging changes."
Case msoSyncStatusError
strStatus = "Last error type: " & objSync.ErrorType
Case msoSyncStatusLatest
strStatus = "Document copies already in sync."
Case msoSyncStatusLocalChanges
objSync.PutUpdate
strStatus = "Local changes saved to server."
Case msoSyncStatusNewerAvailable
strStatus = "Newer copy available on the server."
Case msoSyncStatusSuspended
objSync.Unsuspend
strStatus = "Synchronization resumed."
End Select
Else
strStatus = "Not a shared workspace document."
End If
MsgBox strStatus, vbInformation + vbOKOnly, "Sync Information"
Set objSync = Nothing
