File exists message

[captnk]

This is an update to an earlier post which was not clear.

I am shelling out to a bat file that extracts and imports an lzh archive.
On boot (Or manually) the procedure works perfectly.
However if I try to import further files (On a button press command) I get the message "file exists" and the procedure runs but nothing is imported,to the folder.
All folders are emptied manually,so nothing is visible in them.
So where is the file,that it says exists.
I have previously shell,d out to Xl with no problem,but cant seem to achieve the same result here.
Any ideas how to clear this etc.
(Timing is not a problem I have a wait factor built in.)

With more research,I have discovered that when I run the "event function" in access,it is copying the files to documents and settings. (XP).When I run the bat file independently it does what it is told,and copies to the nominated directories.
The problem with Documents and settings is it is "Read only" and it wont let u delete or copy the files out of there.
I cant discover why the event function causes this.
Somehow this thr root of the problem
????
sorry this is becoming a saga,but i need to get it resolved so i can move on.
