However when I try to run this tool more than once it fails to overwrite the existing file. I looked under geoprocessing options to make sure the overwrite option is checked but it still puts a _1, _2, etc, at the end of the name. Is their any other place I need to look to make sure it overwrites the existing file. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I can do this manually by going to Data &gt; Export, but would like to use this tool to automate it.
