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
