There's always a way.  :-)

I could keep a database of the names of files uploaded successfully
and never allow the same file name twice.  This seems a little
excessive. (And we didn't do it in foxpro either.)

I could remember the name of the last file successfully uploaded
and not allow that filename to be uploaded until a file with
a different name is uploaded successfully.  This would be on
a per-person-logged-in and across-all-(babase custom)-programs
basis.  How does that sound?  Do you have a better idea?
