| File Object (VB6) |
Description
The File object represents a disk file that can be a file of any type and allows you to interrogate the properties of the file and to move upward in the file system hierarchy to interrogate the system on which the file resides. The process of creating a File object—for example, assigning a reference from the Files object's Item property to a local object variable—doesn't open the file.
The File object is part of the File System object model; for an overview of the model, including the library reference needed to access it, see the File System object model entry.
