The problem is on this line   oShell run  cmd exe  C copy  S Claims Sound wav   C  WINDOWS Media Sound wav    Your first quote next to  S Claims  ends the string  you need to escape the quotes around your files with a second quote  like this   oShell run  cmd exe  C copy   S  Claims Sound wav     C  WINDOWS Media Sound wav       You also have a typo in S Claims Sound wav  should be S  Claims Sound wav   I also assume the apostrophe before Dim oShell and after Set oShell   Nothing are typos as well
