Date Displays the last date the file reference was modified. This date is not
displayed if the file reference is not found. This property cannot be edited.
Saved Path Shows the saved path of the selected file reference (this is not
necessarily where the file reference is found). This property cannot be edited.
Found At Displays the full path of the currently selected file reference. This
is where the referenced file is actually found and is not necessarily the same
as the saved path. Clicking the Open button displays the Open dialog box
where you can select a different path or file name. You can also type directly
into the path field. These changes are stored to the Saved Path property if the
new path is valid.
