This function has been preserved, but the meaning of RefreshLocations has been expanded to signify whether an operation should be performed using the DDFs themselves or the ActiveX control’s memory image of the dictionary information.
In other words, if an operation could refer to either the control’s memory image or the DDFs, setting RefreshLocations to
False causes the control to limit that operation to working with only the control’s memory image. If
RefreshLocations is
True, the operation will affect both the memory image and the files themselves. As a result,
RefreshLocations is an overriding property that affects most of the DDF handling methods and properties of the ActiveX control.
