Undo all changes since last save or open via vba

[Pwbrown7333]

Any way to do this?

We have a file on sharepoint and due to multiple reasons, we cannot open the file on line so it must be in the app and due to sharepoint allowing multiple in the file we have written code that if you are not first person, it gives you an error and option to either open in read only, or close.

However, due to network lag issues, we have to do a "save" in the vba code to save the user name for those who would open the file next. Now, if the user first in makes changes and wants to save their changes, we have no issue as the code clears the username and then saves the file. However, if when they are done "playing" in the file, they do not want to save their "playing around" and closes the file, there is nothing that removes the user name and resave. If we simply clear the cell and save, we also save all their "playing around". So we are looking for code that will undo all items since the last save then can add clear the username and resave so essentially no changes made and resave.

This means the next person who opens the file the username is clear and the would essentially be the first person in the file to make changes.

Know there may be a way to check files out and in but so many are new to sharepoint that on other sites / projects we have seen people not follow the process and never check in files meaning people were working off bad info, so really need to avoid that.

Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
