VB Script Error - Worked before but now not confusingly

i am getting a error

The VB file reads col1 and finds the matching image name in the directory and the renames that file to col2 it produces a report to show what images haven't been renamed and placed the ones that have in a folder called rename

i have attached the code so you can see

strDocMap = "C:\img\DocMap.xlsx"
strInputFolder = "C:\img\"
strOutputFolder = "C:\img\renamed\"
strLogFile = "C:\img\RenamingLog.txt" 
strPattern = "\d{5}"

Set regExpression = New RegExp
With regExpression
.Global = True
.IgnoreCase = True
.Pattern = strPattern
End With

Set objWB = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(strDocMap, False, True)
Set objSheet = objWB.Sheets(1)
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If Right(strInputFolder, 1) <> "\" Then strInputFolder = strInputFolder & "\"
If Right(strOutputFolder, 1) <> "\" Then strOutputFolder = strOutputFolder & "\"

If objFSO.FolderExists(strOutputFolder) = False Then objFSO.CreateFolder strOutputFolder
Set objLog = objFSO.CreateTextFile(strLogFile, True)
objLog.WriteLine "Script started " & Now
objLog.WriteLine "Enumerating files in folder: " & strInputFolder
objLog.WriteLine "Renaming files to folder: " & strOutputFolder
objLog.WriteLine String(80, "=")

If line 68

objLog.WriteLine objFile.Name & " contains " & colMatches.Count & " matches. Manual adjustment required."

is really the culprit, I would argue:

1. The objects objLog, objFile, and colMatches were used before - acquittal
2. The methods .WriteLine, .Name, and .Count look good - acquittal
3. Concatenation (&) should work on string literals and not null/empty/nothing elements - acquittal
4. By elimination: objFile.Name contains a funny letter (not convertable to 'ASCII'). Easy check: Replace "objFile.Name" with a string literal.

Evidence

  Dim s
  For Each s In Array(Empty, Null, ChrW(1234))
    On Error Resume Next
     goFS.CreateTextFile("tmp.txt", True).WriteLine s
     WScript.Echo Err.Description
    On Error GoTo 0
  Next

output:
