Copy file from within Access 2003 project

I have an Access 2003 project. I need for users to be able to run a
report and copy the report in Excel format to a web server. The problem
is, they do not have write access to the web server. I tried to have
the Excel file saved to a public directory and then have a bat file run
(from Call Shell in Access) to copy it to the secure directory, but to
no avail. The problem is, the bat file, although located on a server,
is executed from the user's workstation thus using their security. Is
there anyway to force the bat file to run on the server or to add a
login and password to the path in the Call Shell routine? Here is the
current Call Shell:
dim strPath as String
strPath = "\\ServerName\S hareName\FileNa me.bat"
strPath = Chr$(34) & strPath & Chr$(34)
Call Shell(strPath, 1)

Although it is an Access Report, this is not an Access question.

As far as I know, you do have to have proper permissions to write to a
server. An alternative might be to put the file(s) in a folder that you
share and put code on the server to copy it(them) on a time-scheduled basis.
But, it'd be an appropriate question in a newsgroup about the Operating
System you run on the server.

This is regarding Visual Studio 2003 (framework 1.1). We have several projects/libraries. Of course, many of these reference each other.

All other library references would be file references, since they were not included in the solution. However, the...

I do programming in Access 2000 and 2003. I don't have a copy of 2003 myself, though. I have read about the adp software that comes with Access 2003, that converts an application to an access front end with a SQL server backend. It sounds like a good way for me to begin to learn about SQL server. I have thought about just shelling out the bucks for a copy of Access 2003, but the adp software is really the only reason.
