As they say, that's a feature not a bug. Firstly you are talking about the overwrite applet - in other words something that you added to Ovation Pro. The applet has a menu that lets you change the warnings that are given.
The idea of this particular warning is to stop you clobbering the latest version of a document by taking an older version and editing it. That was a mistake I occasionally made in the past. 

Thanks, David, I see that I had misunderstood the purpose of the applet.  I
was thinking it behaved more along the lines of the "Newer" filer option.

Thanks for the explanation.
