Yes there are potential problems in using "filename"

in fact I just hit on this yesterday. A substack has no "filename" property. Thus if you query that property in a preOpenStack handler in the main stack and poke it into a global, when you open a substack it will insert empty into the global!

dynamically built paths to external files using

 "gMyLocation &"/"& somefile.shtml"

just stopped working for me when the user opened a substack in my app...

I finally realized that gMyLocation was empty!

By using "the effectivefilename" which is the same for a mainstack and any of its substacks, you will always return the same value... and you don't have to build any workarounds for the fact that "filename" for substacks is empty.

I have been doing this with just getting the filename, rather than the
effective filename.

Is there a potential problem with using the filename rather than the
effective filename?
