In a macro I save a workbook which overwrites another. The problem is
every
time the macro is excuted, I get a message box asking if I want to
overwrite
the existing file. Is there a way to turn this message off?

I've tried placing the following in my macro, but it has no effect:
Application.AlertBeforeOverwriting = False
