Using VBScript and FileSystemObject, can I use relative paths to copy files from one folder to another?

Hello, I have the following directory structure:

C:\
    - TestSource
           FileToBeCopied.xxx
    - TestDestination
    TestCopyFile.vbs
   
I call the TestCopyFile.vbs with cscript from a DOS prompt and the .vbs contains the following:

dim objFSOPatch, testPath

tDest = ".\TestDestination\"

set objFSOPatch = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSOPatch.CopyFile ".\TestSource\FileToBeCopied.xxx", tDest, True

set fso=Nothing

However, this does not appear to work.  Can I not use relative pathing for this?  Can someone make the change that will fix this for me, please?

Thank you!

Hyper, that first link i'd already looked at and tried to emulate but haven't gotten to work.
The second one only mentions that it is possible to use a relative path but shows no example for it specifically.  What am I doing wrong in MY example?
