I am a newbie to scripts, so please be gentle.

I am trying to run the following script to copy and overwrite a file;

----------------------------------

Const OverwriteExisting = TRUE


Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.CopyFile "C:\TEMP\test.txt" , "C:\temp\test", OverwriteExisting

---------------------------------

Everytime I run it, it comes up with a permission denied for character
1 of the 2nd line of text. Is there something obvious that I am
missing?

What permissions do you have on the two files in question?

full rights on the file, and the folders.

The thing that I cannot understand is that the message talks about
character 1 of line 5 (2nd body of text). Is there something that I
need to add to the script?

You're trying to copy the file C:\Temp\test.txt into the directory
C:\Temp\test, right? Then you need to add a backslash:
objFSO.CopyFile "C:\TEMP\test.txt" , "C:\temp\test\", OverwriteExisting

HTH,
?rjan

Hah! I never thought of that. I assumed he wanted to overwrite a FILE by the
name of TEST with the content of his "test.txt" file.
