There are examples out there on how to do this, try { Link } My objective is to make the R6 document locking better and easier to use.

Chad

Sorry for one more question

I used the class in the webquery open like
flag = DocLock.IsDocumentLocked (wdoc)

it is giving "False" if the document is opened in web by user and is not locked
I am locking it by "Call DocLock.LockDocument(wdoc)" in the same webqueryopen agent

if is save i can unlock it like "call DocLock.UnLockDocument(wdoc) in webquerysave but how can i unlock if i just close the document without saving

Please help

Johan – Thanks for your suggestions, I usually shy away from using Variants but in this case I see the advantage. I will incorporate these changes also.

Nice stuff, Chad, but why "static" functions, instead of using it as a real locking wrapper class, like this:
Dim docLock As New DocumentLock(doc)
If docLock.isLocked() Then
' Do something... perhaps unlock it:
Call docLock.unlock() ' Throws an "exception" if wrong user
Else
' Do something else...perhaps lock it:
Call docLock.lock() ' Throws an "exception" if doc locking is disabled
End If
The methods you have, would be rewritten as:
Public Sub new(doc As Variant) ' To be able to send both NotesDocument and NotesUIDocument
Public Function isLockingEnabled() As Boolean
Public Function isLockedByCurrentUser () As Boolean
Public Function lock() As Boolean
Public Function unlock() As Boolean
Public Function toString() As String ' Returns something like "Document XYZ locked by ABC", to get simple debug logging and such.

The reason I bug you with this, is that I have my own DocumentLock class, that contains the same methods, but with support for R5 (using specific lock documents)
