Well naturally you can not replace an existing file.

Hmmm... why not?

So move the existing file somewhere else, or
rename the existing file. Then once you're sure the new file is in place, delete the old one.

I could do that. But I'd rather not, if I don't have to.

I know the REALbasic IDE does this kind of temp-file-overwriting. How do they handle it? Anyone?

Renaming can be messy, so I'd suggest moving.

Perhaps. But then the user wouldn't know where to find it.

Thanks,

Adam Ernst
