EccoItem Properties
Read/write. Reads or sets the specified folder's value for the item.
You may specify the folder either as an integer (representing the ID number of the folder), or as an EccoFolder object. You may also specify the folder by name, but be careful; an Ecco folder can contain more than one folder with the same name, and results can be unpredictable.
This function will return a boolean (true or false) for checkmark items; a date variant for dates; a variant for numbers; and a string for popup and text values.
When writing data to Ecco, this function will attempt to intelligently convert the supplied data to the appropriate type for the Ecco folder. For example, legal string dates and date variants will be accepted for dates; numbers or strings that can be converted to numbers will be accepted for numbers; etc.
