VBS Object required error, 800A01A8 - vbscript

Question

Hello I'm trying to debug this script that I inherited below. The error is on line 71 char 6. Object required 'oFile'
I don't have any vbs experience so please be gentle. This script takes a scan and uploads it to a doc archive server, gives it unique filename etc. I haven't figured out what 'ofile' is yet :/

It looks the problem may arise if your initial test fails:
If Wscript.Arguments.Count = 1 And oFSO.FolderExists(Wscript.Arguments(0)) Then
...
Else
Set scanFiles = WScript.Arguments
End If
You're setting the scanFiles variable to a collection of arguments, not files. Later on, near line 71 (where your error occurs), you're treating scanFiles as if it's a Files collection and attempting to access the Attributes property of one of its File objects:
For Each oFile In scanFiles
If Not oFile.Attributes And 2 Then **ERROR HERE**
...
Next
This won't be possible since scanFiles is an Arguments collection instead. So I think you need to fix your initial Else clause to either terminate your script or provide some kind of "default" Files collection.
