API call to get who has a document checked out

Try aaApi_SelectLocations. The data will be in AADMSBUFFER_CHKL buffer.

I don't see a property in that buffer for the user that has it checked out...all I see if UserID...can I get the user name with the ID?

John,

Thanks Dan,

exactly what I needed.

Was asked for the code, here it is for c#, i have my own dll for all the wrappers and PWConstants., but other then that should be pretty straight forward.

//check if its checked out by someone else
                            int intlocations = PWWrappers.aaApi_SelectLocationsByProp(selSheet.propFolderID, selSheet.propFileID, -1, PWConstants.AADMS_CHECKED_OUT, null, null);
                            if (intlocations > 0)
                            {
                                //get the user id at the first location record 
                                int userID = PWWrappers.aaApi_GetLocationNumericProperty(PWConstants.LOC_PROP_USERID, 0);
                                if (userID != 0)
                                {//get user from userID
                                    int gotuser = PWWrappers.aaApi_SelectUser(userID);
                                    if (gotuser == 1)
                                    {//get user name
                                        userName = PWWrappers.aaApi_GetUserStringProperty(PWConstants.USER_PROP_NAME, 0);
                                    }

                                }
                            }
