I'm a newb to vbscripting and need a bit of help. I need to copy a
file from a server for which the actual filename will vary when copied
(virus definition file). The file will always have a XDB extension
though, and there's only ever one of these files on the server share.
I can copy file to my client using the wshFSO.CopyFile with *.XDB as
the argument. However, it is my understanding that you can't verify
file copy with return codes from the CopyFile method. (If I'm wrong
please correct me). So I tried a wshFSO.FileExists searching for
*.XDB. I suspect it doesn't like wildcards in this instance, as I've
been able to search for files if I use complete filenames, but not
*.XDB.

Is there another way to verify the exisistence of a file, or check
that the file copy was successful?

Many thanks

R. Baker
