API to open with audit then close

[ron.sanpedro]

We have a number of rather large projects that really need weekly audits, and I would like to be able to automate the process. Right now someone will open and audit central at 5:00 on Friday, then either come in on Saturday morning to save and close, or let it sit till Monday. The latter means no one can work over the weekend, and the file is not backed up. Neither is a good thing. Well, not being able to work on the weekend may be a good thing ;)

Anyway, I am wondering if the API would support an Open with Audit and Save? Ideally I could have a text file listing all the central files that need Auditing, and a machine could just step thru the list doing the open, audit save on each in turn. Also, could the API verify when opening the Central if someone in the office has a local file of that Central open? Or is that information not really available?

Thanks,
Gordon

Gordon,

You can do all you want although not using the API exclusively, you'll need to use win32API's as well.

HTH,
