The FILER Files Collection properties contains PATH, which is the full path to the searched file, as in:

oMyFiler = CREATEOBJECT('Filer.FileUtil')
oMyFiler.SearchPath = 'C:\'
oMyFiler.FileExpression = '*.TXT'
oMyFiler.Subfolder=1
oMyFiler.Find(0)
?oMyFiler.Files.Item(1).Path

In this example the first discovered item with a specified search extension will return its full path via this command (try in command window first).

>I have placed an instance of the FFC _filer on my class and set the properties ok - it appears to find the file OK but I at a loss as how to then get info like path and version etc - I have looked at the code in the base class and it appears to create an object with properties but I just can't seem to get the syntax correct to access the info...
