Executing a stored procedure with a DROP command using VBA

Tags: VBA, Access 2003
Hi, I have an Access ADP project that needs to call a stored procedure that drops a table.

Unsurprisingly to some (but not me hence the question!) the stored procedure will not run because the user doesn't have permission to drop the table that the stored procedure wants to. They do have permission to execute the stored procedure.

So my question is how do I allow a user who doesn't have permission to drop a table do so?

I have two ideas (neither of which I can figure out!) :

1) Grant delete permission on the table to be dropped to the user who is calling the SP
2) Call the SP using sa permissions (which can be supplied at run time) - but I can't figure out how to supply a username and password when calling a sp in vba using the code attached.

Thanks.
