(VFPSP1) * lcfile gets set in code above this...and is a valid filename. copy to (lcFile) Delimited with Tab This line works as long as there's no file already existing. If the file exists, it throws Error 202 ("Invalid path or filename"). Is there a way to force it to overwrite without me having to check for the existence of the file and delete if existing? -- Mike Babcock, MCP MB Software Solutions, LLC President, Chief Software Architect http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com http://fabmate.com http://twitter.com/mbabcock16 [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/df1eef11e586a64fb54a97f22a8bd044067af93...@ackbwddqh1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
