I'm very new to scripting, so I may be mistaken, but I believe that you are
instantiating a 'local' object there; which will probably not allow you to
copy from the network -if you've read this elsewhere, then go with that (I'm
just surmising based on what you've told me).
However, a mapped drive ought to sort it :)

Paul, Thanks again. I have the permissions applied now, so that worked great. The script is in place and is executing as well, but I'm still having a script error when the actual copy attempts to take place. I get two different messages: either permission denied or path not found. Permission denied is bogus, because I have the rights and if I copy the file from a disk or flash drive to the local drive, it works fine. Path not found is bogus too, because the path is there. The copy is instructing the file located on a SERVER to be copied to a client, but now I've noticed the WSH script I found in the MSDN collection seems to only indicate that it works for local file coping (not from server). Is this true?? How can I copy it from the network to the client? Here is my code: Dim FSO Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") FSO.CopyFile "\\CALLISTO\VOL1\Public\make32vs.bat", "% systemdrive%\Program Files\Masm" Is there a problem in the share name? Server name? Syntax? Should I be using UNC conventions to access the source file on the server, or the mapped drive letter?
