You must add a reference to the Microsfot Scripting Runtime for this to work
Scripting is all new to me. It looks really interesting.
Just wondering, couldn't you use built-in functions in VB to do this? Like:
If FileDateTime(file2) > FileDateTime(file1) then
FileCopy file2, file1
endif
?

I suppose you could, but I'm not sure if it will take UNCs as indicated in the question. I'm not sure it won't, but since I'm fairly certain I have used the FSO with UNCs.. I'm going to try the FileDateTime on a UNC when I get into work. Will let you know.
