Silent save without prompting in Revit API

Question

I'm using the Revit 2011 API and when I do Document.Save() on an existing family file it prompts me with the "Save As" dialog to specify a file name. How can I have it save without prompting the user?

Answer 1

It turns out that the family files were read-only. By default Revit will save files silently but for some reason when they are read-only it doesn't throw an error but instead prompts for a save location. I would have figured out the read-only part had I tried to actually save them but I think it would have made more sense for the Revit to throw an error on Document.Save than prompt for a new save location.
