Sync.GetUpdate Method

Definition

Compares the local version of the shared document to the version on the server.

public:
 void GetUpdate();
public void GetUpdate ();
abstract member GetUpdate : unit -> unit
Public Sub GetUpdate ()

Remarks

Use the GetUpdate() method to compare the local version of the shared document to the version on the server and to refresh the sync status.

Not all document synchronization problems raise trappable run-time errors. After performing an operation using the Sync object, it's a good idea to check the Status property; if the Status property is msoSyncStatusError, check the ErrorType property for additional information on the type of error that has occurred.

In many circumstances, the best way to resolve an error condition is to call the GetUpdate method. For example, if a call to PutUpdate() results in an error condition, then a call to GetUpdate will reset the status to msoSyncStatusLocalChanges.
