"will complain and what not" is not a very precise
description. I'm going to go out on a limb here
and guess you get the message described here:

:h E325

(which you might want to read)

Preferred solution: you could use the 'Edit with
existing vim', which doesn't exhibit this behavior
since you're just redirected to the open file.

Other solutions with ramifications you need to be
aware of:

:set shortmess+=A

or

:set noswapfile

Just make sure you realize what the consequences
are of not those settings.
