Hi Naomi,

I tried what you suggested, but the debugger never got hit.

The error was occurring when I did the build from the project manager window by clicking the Build button. However, just now, I did the build in the command window, and the "File already exists" error did not occur.

Building from the project manager always worked before.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jim
