Specifying a Filename

You specify the name of the record file with the RecordName property. You can specify any value for RecordName - including a directory path - provided the filename is supported by your operating system. Additionally, if RecordMode is index, then the filename follows these rules:

• Indexed filenames are identified by a number. This number precedes the filename extension and is increased by 1 for successive record files.
• If no number is specified as part of the initial filename, then the first record file does not have a number associated with it. For example, if RecordName is myfile.txt, then myfile.txt is the name of the first record file, myfile01.txt is the name of the second record file, and so on.
• RecordName is updated after the record file is closed.
• If the specified filename already exists, then the existing file is overwritten.
