I've seen some cases where copy file seems to fail every now and then. I've done something like this to get around it...

oFSO = CREATEOBJECT("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
ofso.CopyFile('fromFile','tofile')

there is a 3rd parameter (a logical) you can put in there to indicate if it should overwrite the file....so it works like this...

ofso.CopyFile(string from file, string to file, logial to overwrite)
