Need to copy this folder from a network share onto the local computer. Script will be run from various clients.

Keep on getting an error message on Line 7, Char 1 Object Required: " Code 800A01A8

Dim fso
sFolder = "\\source"
dFolder = "C:\destination"
Const OverWriteFiles = True
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder("C:\crystal")
fso.CopyFolder sFolder, dFolder, overwritefiles
Wscript.Echo("All Done. Please restart your computer")

I didn't test, but

  Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder("C:\crystal")
  fso.CopyFolder sFolder, dFolder, overwritefiles

looks fishy to me.

Dim fso
sFolder = "\\source"
dFolder = "C:\destination"
Const OverWriteFiles = True
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder("C:\crystal")
objfso.CopyFolder sFolder, dFolder, overwritefiles
Wscript.Echo("All Done. Please restart your computer")


Red - You were missing.
Blue - Why are you creating this if you are not using it?  Without checking to see if exists you may get an error when it already exists.

Status: offline 		This is exactly what I have and it does not work:

Dim fso
sFolder = "\\source" 'This source is from a Network File Server
dFolder = "C:\destination"
Const OverWriteFiles = True
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objfso.CopyFolder sFolder, dFolder, overwritefiles
Wscript.Echo("All Done. Please restart your computer")

Error:

Error: Invalid procedure call or argument

Try echoing your source and destination variables and make sure they are formatted and being passed correctly.

Status: online 		Well, my first thing to look at is sFolder = "\\source". The \\ indicates that this is a UNC path and that source is the name of the server. So are you trying to copy an entire server to a folder?

Status: offline 		Do I need to bind to that folder first?

The funny thing is that I wrote a similar script a few weeks ago which copied a folder from a network share and it worked. Only thing is, I accidentally deleted it!!! 

It's failing at objFSO.Copyfolder

Status: online 		You do not need to bind to the folder. The copyfolder method takes a string for a path. Please run the following code posting back here with what is output. I realize that you may need to change some of the information for security, but change as little as possible:

Status: offline 		Source, Destination, Overwrite are all correct.
Same error on objfso.copyfolder line

Is there something different with connecting to a network file share? I checked the permissions on that share and they are correct.

should be:

Source: \\fileserver\crystal_9_dll$\bin

That is the problem. How do you generate that path?

Status: offline 		The location of the actual folder I want to copy is \\fileserver\crystal_9_dll$\bin

The share name is \\fileserver]crystal_9_dll$

Maybe I need to remove the double \\ in between everything?

and just put quotes in front and end of that location?
