I have written an application that allows the user to zip data to a directory. Each time the file name remains the same, but the user is prompted to select where they would like the zip to go. If they select the floppy drive and have already put an old disk in the drive, they get prompted to insert the last disk of the backup when I set the ZipFileName property. Since in this case I am about to erase the data, the message is not required. If the user does not put a disk in until prompted, then everything works OK. Is there a property I can set to overcome this?
