How Can I Overwrite A File If It Exists?

[layo]

In my attached macro is there a way to overwrite file if it exists?

Many thanks in advance!

Move a file to a folder and replace same-named file

You're welcome, @toddlerner. Fortunately, I think I figured it out. For some reason, the version of the macro you were using had a variable containing the full file path (Local__FileToMove) where it should have used the one that only contained the file's name (Local__FileName). I got the same "file already exists" error when I tried it with the version you were using, but fixing the variables being used seems to have done the trick. Now that your Trash File action is working properly, this shoul…

Thanks, I expected attached to work, but still says cannot move file because it already exists. What am I doing wrong?

I linked to a specific post in that thread that updated the macro to v1.1 (you downloaded 1.0) and addressed that issue. Try clicking the link again and it should take you to that post.
