Usage Notes
■ At run time, this property returns the currently selected file name
from the list. The path is retrieved separately, using the Path
property. This returned value is functionally equivalent to:
List(ListIndex)
See: ◄List Property► ◄ListIndex Property► ◄Path Property►
■ When writing to this property:
• Including a drive, path, or pattern in the string changes the Drive,
Path, and Pattern properties accordingly.
• Including the name of an existing file (without wildcard characters)
in the string selects the file.
■ Changing the value of this property may also cause one or more of these
events:
