PRB: Cannot Get Individual Items from the Projects Collection (196023)

The information in this article applies to:

This article was previously published under Q196023

SYMPTOMS

Referencing a project collection's item without the keyword 'Item' may cause the following error:

File '<filename>' does not exist.

To access an individual item, use the following syntax:

   oProj = APPLICATION.ACTIVEPROJECT
   oFiles = oProj.FILES
   oFile = oFiles.Item[1]
   ?oFile.NAME

This behavior is by design.

Run the following code from a program file with a project in memory that has at least one file attached to it:

   oProj = APPLICATION.ACTIVEPROJECT
   oFiles = oProj.FILES
   oFile = oFiles[1]
   ?oFile.NAME

RESULTS: The third line returns the following error:

File 'ofiles.prg' does not exist.
