Version added

Syntax

strRet = object.BaseID

strRet

String. A Master object's base ID.

object

Required. An expression that returns a Master object.

Remarks

A base ID is assigned to a master when it is created. When a master is copied, the copies all have the same base ID as the original master.

A Master object also has a UniqueID property that remains the same as the original master when copied. If the copy of the master gets changed, the unique ID changes but the base ID remains the same.

The only way to change a master's base ID is to use the NewBaseID property.
