If this is the "file is reserved" issue, here is a script you can run that will "fix it". I had tried programmatically other ways, but couldn't find anything.

 

It could be removed manually by doing a SaveCopyAs on the file, so I resorted to this workaround.

 

 

Sub Main()

	Dim oTempFolder As String = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath() 'ending with \

	Dim oDoc As Document
	oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

	If oDoc.ReservedForWrite = True
		resp = MsgBox("File is reserved for write. Remove this?", vbYesNo, "MMM iLogics")
	Else
		resp = MsgBox("File is NOT reserved for write. Save a duplicate copy over this file?", vbYesNo, "JRK iLogics")
	End If

	If resp = vbYes
		oFName = oDoc.FullFileName
		oTempFileName = oTempFolder & System.IO.Path.GetFileName(oFName)
		
		oDoc.SaveAs(oTempFileName, True)
		oDoc.SaveAs(oTempFolder & "[BACKUP]" & System.IO.Path.GetFileName(oFName), True)
		
		'Process.Start(oTempFolder)
		
		System.IO.File.Delete(oFName)
		System.IO.File.Move(oTempFileName, oFName)
		
		ThisApplication.FileManager.RefreshAllDocuments()
	End If
End Sub
