Close sheet set - or force a refresh?

TL:DR how do I close a sheet set? 

 

The following code does nothing (no crashes, just smiles and nods..)

Public Function RefreshSheetSet(SSfilename As String) As String

On Error GoTo ErrorRefresh
Dim OSSM As New AcSmSheetSetMgr
Dim DbIter As IAcSmEnumDatabase
Dim DB As AcSmDatabase
Dim CurSSet As AcSmSheetSet
Dim Retval
Dim SSFile As String

'refreshes current sheet set
Set DbIter = OSSM.GetDatabaseEnumerator
If DbIter Is Nothing Then
    'ssm not loaded
    RefreshSheetSet = "Sheetset manager not loaded"
    Exit Function
End If
DbIter.Reset
Set DB = DbIter.Next

If DB Is Nothing Then
    Refreshseetset = "No Sheetset loaded"
    Exit Function
Else
    Do While Not DB Is Nothing
        SSFile = DB.GetFileName
        If SSFile = SSfilename Then
            Set CurSSet = DB.GetSheetSet
            OSSM.Close DB
            'Set DB = OSSM.OpenDatabase(SSFile)
            RefreshSheetSet = "Sheetset re-loaded"
            Exit Do
        End If
        Set DB = DbIter.Next
    Loop
End If

Exit Function

ErrorRefresh:
DB.UnlockDb DB
RefreshSheetSet = Err.Description

End Function

 

Background:

 

Due to circumstances beyond my control our drawing filesystem is hosted on the cloud, with filesystem access provided by cloud drive mapper by IAM

 

Everything works, albeit slowly, but adequately, apart from a custom vba script to insert a sheet into the current sheet set - the sheet set manager doesn't reflect the change until it's closed and re-opened.  In the absence of any better ideas, I thought I'd just get the script to close and then re-open the sheet set.  Easier said than done.

 

Any suggestions on closing the sheet set?

AcSmSheetSetMgr should have a close function. I have this in my Python test.
