My plug-in (which basically performs text substitutions before saving and closing the updated doc) recently caused CS3 Server to crash. When I run the same job on the desktop, in the CS3 Debug, an exception about a locked "pub file" occurs. Can anyone explain what a "pub file" is, how it becomes locked, and/or what can be done programmatically to "unlock" it?

I've tried the following method call:

Utils<Facade::IWorkgroupStoryFacade>()->IsWriteable( docFile)

...which seems to enable me to avoid the embarrassing crash/exception, but doesn't get the "job" done...

The doc in question contains links to .jpg, .tif, .psd, and .ai files, but all are (temporarily) broken, which is deliberate and normal. I was wondering if the problem could be Version Cue related, but no one in the orginisation seems to be using VC.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated :-)
