Hi

Just to let you know that if you use the save-dialog component from Delphi, it will automatically notice if the user tries to save a file that is already on the drive.  

It will then ask the user if they wish to save over the file and offer yes/no as options.  If they select no, then they can rename the file they want to save.

dear Sabre..

Sabre,

Experts-Exchange is a knowledge sharing site. Problems, and their solutions should be discussed on line through these question threads, so that all participants on the site can benefit from the discussion.

I'm closing this question as lbseong's account has been suspended for several different types of abuse of the EE system, one of which was displayed here - failure to provide feedback. (PS - that in *itself* of course is insufficient reason to warrant a suspension, but trust me, lbseong has been up to no good in many different ways).

Sorry to hear of the problems Modder.  I thought that at least if i saw the problem that lbseong was trying to solve i could better describe it here for others along with any answer that could be offered.  

Since both Tomas Helgi and myself had already supplied an answer to what we understood was the question i felt that perhaps the language barrier was an issue so thought i could help in that respect to at least define the question for lbseong on seeing it myself.

I fully understand and support your point of "problems, and their solutions should be discussed on line through these question threads, so that all participants on the site can benefit from the discussion."

I do feel though that Tomas Helgi should have been awarded the points for this question.

Sabre.

No problem... I forgot though - how many points was this question for again?
If i remember correctly it was 50 although i am not 100% sure.  Perhaps Tomas Helgi can correct me on that.

I just thought that since lbseong was at fault it would be unfair if others were not rewarded for doing their part of participating and thus perpetuate the fault.

Glad to see however, that fairness is still alive and well.

Sabre
OK. Upped the points to 50. If I don't get any further notifs I'll assume that that was the correct figure.

Cheers

 Hi!
Sabre, You were right. It was 50 points.

Thanks,
Tomas Helgi
No problem Tomas, the points are not important - the EE community spirit is the thing that matters.

Thanks Modder.

Sabre.
