I'm having a problem with this.

When Windows replaces/overwrites files it is only when the filename
is the same as an existing filename..

Did the new photos from camera2 have the same filenames as those from
camera1 but were not the same photos?

Hey, Gord,

Just a thought based on the original message...

If you had two cameras that were set to begin
at image #1 each session...it's conceivable
that both cameras could create files with the
same numbers.

When the word *replace* is used it means
proceeding will overwrite the current files.
