Hi,

I have a question about SavePanel and/or OpenPanel.

I have an application where I need the user to supply the name of a log  
file.  If the user wants a new file, they should be able to type in a new  
name.  Later when the log is used, it will be created if needed.  If the  
user chooses an existing file, then the app will append to it when it  
needs to log something.

SavePanel allows me to do all I need, except for the annoying feature that  
it asks me whether I want to overwrite the existing file if I choose a  
file that already exists.  My app will NOT overwrite this file at the time  
the user has to press OK (or ever really).

Does anyone know a way to prevent that panel from showing up?

Thanks
