Thanks everyone. I'll give this all some testing in the AM, and report back. I haven't really scripted anything in nearly 7 years and realized as I started typing this up that this one of those skills you lose if you don't use...

Another way is to do: intReturn = WShell.Run(...) and that should give you the exit code from the other window. Or lastly, WScript.Echo <cmd here> that you were going to put into WSHell.Run, and then cut and paste the command into a new window and run it to see what error is returned.

I just thought of a possible way: Wrap the XCOPY command in CMD with the /K switch. RunWait ("CMD /K XCOPY blah blah blah") New window will open, execute XCOPY, and then give a command prompt. Not as nice as "Finished" and waiting for the user to click "Close", but good enough for debugging. (Second time I've replied to myself in this thread.
