In this way, i read your explaination. but in my case

a fave my main programme xyz.mde, and i wanna replace by a new xyz.mde...but when the program is use my a termenal server, many user use the xyz.mde so i cant overwrite it.. :-(

So i wanna create a setup who will simpely replace the file only when it possible. In the case that the file is not overwrited, i will pop-up a warning just like " please disconnect your remote pc, because a cant bla bla bla... "

so waht can i do ?

You can use `SetOverwrite on` and set the error text to "please disconnect..." using FileErrorText.

If you use SetOverwrite on and the file can't be overriden, a message box with the text specified using FileErrorText will pop up, asking the user to abort, ignore or retry. If it can be overriden, it will be, no questions asked.

this is already this way....

But the program is for a Terminal server... I need ne question.. no pause.. no interruption

You can, replace it.. else, forget it...butdont stop running... this is what i want...

So, this is ahy i need an auto-skip file if the file is already in use...

That's exactly what SetOverwrite try does. What's wrong with it?

If you use SetOverwrite try you won't get any error message. The file will simply be skipped. That's exactly what you've asked for:

You can, replace it.. else, forget it...
