Hell FellowNewsgroupreaders,

basically the title syas it all.

I have to recreate some 200 files and update them on a regular basis.
Don't ask me why but opening and editing the existing file is not an
option. I create a new file, save it and overwrite the existing (closed)
file. Even in a macro I still have to confirm this overwrite. How do I
avoid that? Can't find it in the literature and on some helpful sites.
