Briefcase |
An object that represents the briefcase file. Can be set by the event procedure. |
|

Setting this Boolean argument to True aborts the operation. The event will not occur. |
Remarks
During this event, if the current object is a folder, the Folder object refers to that folder. If the current object is a document, the Folder object refers to the parent folder.
When the value of Briefcase.Path is set in this procedure, the user is not prompted as usual to select a path and name for the new briefcase. Also, the file extension in the Path property will determine the briefcase file format. The format definition with the name that matches the file extension will be used regardless of the Format setting of the template that is specified in the Briefcase.TemplateName property. Consequently, there should only be one format defined for each potential archive file extension and the format definition name should be the same as the file extension. For more information about defining briefcase formats and templates, see the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Configuration Guide.
