Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
SaveChanges	Optional	Boolean	True (non-zero) to save document changes before check-in; False (0) to check the document in without saving changes. The default is True.
Comments	Optional	Variant	Any comments to be stored with this revision of the document (applies only if SaveChanges equals True).
MakePublic	Optional	Boolean	True to publish the document after check-in.

Return value

Nothing

Remarks

To check in a file, it must be stored in a document library on a computer running Microsoft SharePoint Server or Microsoft SharePoint Foundation.

After the document has been checked in using the CheckIn method, the document is closed. This behavior is different from the user interface; when you check in a document in the user interface, the document is closed and re-opened as read-only.

Example

This example checks the server to see if the specified document can be checked in. If it can, this example saves and closes the document, and then checks it back into the server.

Sub CheckDocIn(varDocCheckIn As Variant) 
  
    If Documents.Item(varDocCheckIn).CanCheckin = True Then  
        Documents.Item(varDocCheckIn).CheckIn  
        MsgBox varDocCheckIn & " has been checked in."  
    Else  
        MsgBox "This file cannot be checked in " _  
            & "at this time. Please try again later."  
    End If   
  
End Sub

To call the preceding CheckDocIn subroutine, use the following subroutine and replace servername/workspace/drawing.vdx with the path to and name of an actual file located on a Microsoft SharePoint Server computer.

Sub DocIn()  
 
    Call CheckDocIn _  
        (varDocCheckIn:="https://servername/workspace/drawing.vdx ") 
  
End Sub
