Problem with using GetCopy()

When I try to use the GetCopy method from IManDocument I get the following error message:
"[NRTDocument][Document is readonly ]Access is denied."
Even though I am the author of the document that I am trying to get a copy of.

I am calling GetCopy like this:
doc.GetCopy(@C:\temp, imGetCopyOptions.imNativeFormat);
where doc is the IManDocument.

Am I doing something wrong here? Also does GetCopy allow me to get copies of documents that I only have read access to?

thanks in advance.

Your download path must be a fullpath, like so:

[C#]
string downloadpath = @C:\Temp\exported dox\ + doc.Number.ToString() + "_" + doc.Version.ToString() + "." + doc.Extension;
doc.GetCopy(downloadpath, imGetCopyOptions.imNativeFormat);

You are allow to export a read-only document since you're merely getting a copy of the latest version in the database.

All,

I have the below code, c# on an asp.net page, and getting the error that nthomas is getting:
"[NRTDocument ][Document is readonly ]Access is denied. ".

...
IManDocument doc = db.GetDocument(1702971, 1);
string completePath = @c:\+doc.Number.ToString()+"_"+doc.Version.ToString()+"."+doc.Extension.ToString();
doc.GetCopy(completePath, IManage.imGetCopyOptions.imNativeFormat);
...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Kris

Make sure you can write to the directory that you have specified. For instance, if your code is run on the Web server machine, then the WorkSite logged-on user must have rights to write to the C:/ drive (that you have specified in your code) of that Web server machine. If that's indeed the case, then you might want to use the Web server's temp folder instead, to which I believe the aspx user has default r/w access. Also, you should be able to use Path.GetTempPath() to get the system’s current temp directory in .NET.
