Export and Import Bookmark

Can anyone tell me how to export and import a bookmark in VB? Since it doesn't appear to be possible to create a shared server bookmark in the API, I am wondering if it is possible to create a bookmark in VB, save it to a file, and re-import it on another PC?

I have a solution for this, maybe it does what you need?

In the published end-user app we create hidden shared server BM:s using the API.

This way they don't show up in the bookmarks toolbar.

ActiveDocument.CreateDocBookmark (the function name is rather confusing)

Then we export the shared server BM:s to QVB-files.

This we do by, via macro, opening each published app via "Open in server" and thus exporting the BM:s.

SET MyMasterDoc = App.OpenDocEx

MyMasterDoc.ExportBookmarks

Then after exporting them to QVB-files (we export them to .xml-files because in fact they are xml) we clear all document bookmarks, then re-import them as hidden document bookmarks:

MyEndUserDoc.ClearDocBookmarks

MyEndUserDoc.ImportBookmarks

Hope this was helpful to you.

Cheers!
