I am using a macro that will output a form. When the program runs again it prompts: Do you want to replace the existing file? Is there anyway I can turn this prompt off or bypass it? I need the whole process automated. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip, but it didn't work. It still prompts you about deleting the file. Anyone else????

DoCmd.SetWarnings False

This works in Access 2002

It didn't seem to work for me either. I still get the prompt with warnings=false. I assume the 'doCmd.setwarnings false' is in VBA, but still doesn't work.
