How to use Excel VBA to cancel Excel readonly status
If you the user has write access you can open the workbook, modify it, save
it back to sharepoint.
' Determine if workbook can be checked out.
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
'Fails if User not Logged into Sharepoint
If Workbooks.CanCheckOut(Filename:=savename) = True Then
Workbooks.CheckOut savename
MsgBox "Checked out file from SharePoint: " & file
End If
'I actually don't need to open file
'Workbooks.Open (savename)
'Instead save over it.
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=savename,
FileFormat:=xlWorkbookNormal
'Check it in -- works if I checked it Out
If Workbooks(ActiveWorkbook.Name).CanCheckIn = True Then
Workbooks(ActiveWorkbook.Name).CheckIn
savechanges:=SaveDuringClose, Comments:="", MakePublic:=True
MsgBox file & " has been checked in."
Else
MsgBox "This file cannot be checked in " & _
"at this time. Please try again later, " & _
"someone else who has write access could have it Checked
Out."
End If
--If you come up with a way to check login access first and figure out how
to save a new file there. please let me know.

Changing the workbook file access is attempted through the workbook

| Dear All,
|
| Recently, I have developed an Excel VBA for my internal users. In this
| VBA, user can press a button to save the workbook immediatedly.
|
| Now, I have placed this Excel file onto our SharePoint website for
sharing
| to the public. However, I have realized when the user open this Excel
file,
| it will be in Readonly status. User can open it but they can't save data
in
| this Excel (through marco).
|
| I would like to ask that are there any coding can change the Excel
| workbook from readonly to read-write status, so the user can save the
data?
| Otherwise, any other codes can help me to save the Excel without any
notice
| for the user in SharePoint website?
|
| Thank you for all
