Does anyone know how to overwrite an existing file in the vault with one from outside the vault in Visual Basic?
I have tried using vault.GetFolderFromPath.AddFile("C:\test.txt") which works great for new files, but fails with return code: E_EDM_NAME_ALREADY_EXISTS.
I think my solution may involve IEdmCallback6::Resolve, mlLongData2 = 1 (Edmra_Replace) but I can’t' figure how to use it.
Have you considered checking out the file, then copying the file outside of the vault on top of it with FileSystem's "CopyFile"?
Worked perfectly. Thanks
Here is the code I ended up with for anyone who wants to know.
On Error Resume Next
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile("C:\Test.txt", "C:\PDM_Vault\Test.txt", True)
If Err.Number() <> 0 Then
MsgBox("Error Number: " & Err.Number & " Description:" & Err.Description)
End If
hi,
i used pack and go for each file export from old folder to new folder, now i created new folder for each file. i want to export to single folder, but reference details missing. so i need to overwrite part and drawing files. I used vb macro. I used your code, but i got error in this line.
On Error Resume Next
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile("C:\newfolder\part1.sldprt", "C:\oldfolder\part1.sldprt", True) ---error thils line
If Err.Number() <> 0 Then
MsgBox ("Error Number: " & Err.Number & " Description:" & Err.Description)
