SYMPTOMS
========

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

  File '<filename>' does not exist.

RESOLUTION
==========

To access an individual item, use the following syntax:

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

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

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.
