Based on my experience with trying to trap errors from a Copy File To command, I'm guessing that one copy would succeed and the other user would get the Interactive Message Window that states that the file already exists and asks what to do. Only the operating system on the server knows which of the two simultanious copy commands got it's attention first.
No one has offered an explanation of why the Try/Catch approach doesn't handle this scenario. Is it possible that the operating system insists on handling this itself?
