This is a trick I use to achieve your goal. uidoc is the uidocument object of the sub document. docApp is the main document.

    Call ws.ViewRefresh
    Call uidoc.Close(True)
    Set uidoc=ws.EditDocument(True, docApp, False, ,True , False)

    ‘You can modify the main doc via a new uidoc or its Document property now.
 

Hi Starrow,

Thanks for your reply. I am not sure but won't this close the document that was opened from the embedded view? I need to close the main document that the new document was opened from. Please excuse my ignorance.

Also, where would you place this script for it to work?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Philip,

Per my understanding, you want to update the main document A from the sub document B, then modify A from A. Special cautions need to be taken in this case to prevent save conflicts. The most safe way is to only edit A in one place. So after editing and saving B, close it optionally and edit A. The values that need to be written back to A can be now retrieved from B. You can put the scripts in the save action of B. Actually it won't close B instantly but the focus will be transferred to A and the modifications done to A in the script from now on are the same as those directly done to A and will not incur save conflicts.

Thanks Starrow. Your a life saver!
