Hi I would appreciate any assistance with the fiollowing...
very basic: take a copy of a file & dump it into another folder & overwrite
previous version. eventually to be done overnight on the Server (running SBS
2003).

but when i run the script:

Const OverwriteExisting = TRUE
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.CopyFile "D:\data\test-folder\text.txt" , "D:\Archive\",
OverwriteExisting

the script seems to run but the text.txt file is not copied?
Would appreciate some help

Do you have the proper security permissions to write to that folder?
Perhaps test with a new temp directory as the target.
