I'm glad to hear you already sorted out the original issue.

To control overwriting, you should use this version of the uploadUrl method, which takes a 'mode' parameter. The 'mode' parameter accepts a DBFILESWriteMode object, which you can set to your desired write mode, such as "Overwrite". There's an example of that here.

Greg - thanks as always for the reply. This code is where I started from. Using that code (uploadData) the SQLite file was not retaining itself as a DB. Switching to the code I have now with uploadUrl is functioning as expected with the exception of the overwrite issue. I will chose the overwrite issue and possibly just code around it if there is no alternative.
