"File exists but no overwrite allowed" error when transferring client data in ProSeries

This message occurs when you are trying to transfer a client file that has the same file name as a file that already exists in ProSeries. If this message results for a client that should exist already in the HomeBase, but doesn't show, run Database Maintenance:

If you wish to transfer and overwrite the existing client file you can change the program settings to allow this.  Once a client file is overwritten, the data existing before the transfer can't be recovered.

1. From the HomeBase menu, choose Tools then Options.
2. Choose Transfer from the left side of the screen.
3. Check the box that says Overwrite Existing Client Files.
4. Click the OK button.
5. Transfer the client again.
