Is there a way to have excel start at a certain time?
I would like to be able to have Excel start at a specified time and open a
specific file which in turn would run a series of routines to do what I need
done.

I'm running Windows XP Professional, and I have written the routines and
they are set to run when the file is opened.

Thanks in advance,
Raul

Try using Scheduled Tasks (Start-Accessories-System Tools). Browse for
the Excel file (the XLS) not Excel itself.
