Thanks Ed,

I appreciate your help.

Unfortunately, it still does not overwrite.

It asks if I want to and when a choose “yes” it continues with the script but does not overwrite.

I don't want it to even ask. I tried adding an "ignore application responses" but that cause the script to stop working.

 

I guess the most workable answer is still to check for the existence of the file and delete it before saving.

This was suggested by Yvan KOENIG (from FRANCE)

 

Thanks Yvan,

I will try that next.
