Hi Peter,
First you need to upload the file to the server, or at least the filename,
then check if there is an existing file with that name, if so then you need
to display this to the user and prompt whether to overwrite or not, at this
stage you already done a post to the server and returned a result to the
user.
I guess another way of doing it would be to use JavaScript and an Iframe or
similar, when the user submits the form you call a file in the Iframe that
checks if the file exists or not, if it does then you can do something like
bConfirm = confirm('Would you like to overwrite the existing file?');
return bConfirm
Hope that makes sense?
But to answer your question there is no vbyesno (as far as I am aware)
