Hi.

I am using the MODI.Document.SaveAs Method (in vb.net) in order to save an existing document to a new file.
After using this method I am not able to access this file at all (delete, overwrite, etc...)
Does anybody know how can I solve this problem?

Thanks,
Hannah

What happens when you try?

I am getting the following exception:

'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException'
Additional information: access is denied

Make sure that you have the necessary access to the resource.

Every file and folder has an Access Control List (what people call “Global groups”) entry, and if you are not on the list (that is, if the account making the access is not on the list), you will get this error. Every entry-resource combination has- or doesn't have- Read, Write, Create, Execute or Delete privileges.

For instance, if you contact a website through the internet guest account, and that account doesn't have access to a particular file, you won't be able to have access to it, even if your personal accout does have access to it.

I don't think that is the problem because I am able to access the file at the beginning, and just after saving the document in it, I am not able to access it anymore through the same running program (if I stop the program and run it again, I am able to access it again).

Any other idea?

OK, I realized what the problem is:

I can't access the file because it is opened (When using the "SaveAs" method it opens the file), so it won't let me overrite or delete it.

So now my question is:
Does somebody know how can I close this File after the "SaveAs" command?
