Returns the name of the Parent object for the specified object. Read-only Object.
Remarks
Specifying the Parent property of a WebFile object returns the WebFolder object. When an object is contained in a web, the Parent property returns the Web object. For example, if the Theme object is contained in a Web object called "Adventure Works Web", the Parent property returns "Adventure Works Web"; otherwise, for a theme referenced outside of a Web object, the Parent property returns the name of the Application object—in this example, it would return "Microsoft FrontPage". However, when the System object is specified from a client computer, the Parent property returns the Application object of the host, not the client.
