| I want to be able to run an xp_cmdshell to copy a file from one place to another, however I need the rights of a certain user for access to the file. Is there a way to run the stored proc using credentials of the user and password I provide to it? |

| No. You'll need to contact the DBA of that SQL Server to copy the file. He/she can do something for you that has to do with a proxy account. Check SQL Server Books Online for more details on it.Tara |

| If you can set up your Sproc as a scheduled job it will run with the SQL System Account - and if that has the necessary permissions Bingo!Kristen |

Actually that is the problem, I am logged into sql as admin but I need to have rights of a certain windows account to access the file. |

| Then you can do it by mapping a drive on the SQL Server. When you map a drive, you are able to pass in different credentials for it to use. This can all be done via xp_cmdshell. Once mapped, you can then use xcopy. Just remember to unmap the drive when done so that someone else doesn't have access to it.Tara |

| Oh and BTW, the DOS command that you'll need is NET USE. Run NET USE /? from a cmd window to see its options.Tara |
