    HI,

    When I copy/move files from one folder to another I am asked if I want to replace older file versions. I select yes and then think that I have the new and up-to-date files in the folder. However, when I check the files, they are still the older versions.

    Has anyone heard of this problem before? Any ideas how to fix it?

    Many thanks
    CP

    Check the attributes of the files ( the ones to be overwritten ) to see if they are set to Read Only.

    If they are they will not get overwritten.
