Why not just create a VBScript (.vbs, not VBA in Excel) that creates an
Excel instance and does some stuff, or a workbook with a workbook open event
that does the stuff and is started regularly via scheduler.

Is it possible to construct an executable file that will run from Windows
XP
that will launch a VB script in Excel?

I would like to be able to assign this .exe program to Windows Task
Scheduler in order to send data to other programs at regular intervals.
