Getting around Initials popup screen
 

I found out that my problem with running Excel from an
ASP was that I had not ran Excel before as the user that
was accessing the page. Therefore, Excel was prompting
for the user's name and initials as it always does the
first time it is ran for an account.

Is there anyway to get around this screen, so that Excel
will just open up the first time it is used without
asking for this information?

Thanks!

I don't know, but you could try running Excel with the /Automation
command line switch?
