Good Afternoon 

 

  • I have a flow, that copies a word document from one document library to another.  No problem all working  New Library Updated successfully. 
  • I then have an Powerapp that looks at the document library as a source and shows all the document in it  with various actions etc.  No problem Working Well. 
  • IN the App - Working with a  file I have a button that "on select" opens work document -   Work well opens document with following code. 

 

 

Launch("ms-word:ofv|u|" & ThisItem.DocLoc)

 

 

  • The desired action is for the end user to open and edit the document.

 

My problem is when the word document opens it comes up with the Read only Banner.

Is there a way I set it to open in Edit mode and not Read only made?

Am I using the correct Launch Function?

The library I copied it from has no Check in / Out selected.
