Hello all,

I have this C# code where in I am writing some datato an excel sheet and then saving it using saveas.

But when I run the program again for the next time it is asking me prompt whether or not replace the exisiting file. I want it to be yes for everytime and it should not give a prompt to save and replace the existing file again and again.

How can I do it??
Here is the code. Please help.

Add a reference to System.IO namespace. Before saving your Excel file (line 155) check if the file already exists and if it does, just delete the previous file:

if (File.Exists("c:\\test\\test.xls")) File.Delete("c:\\test\\test.xls");

Thanks a lot Teme64 it worked.
