Yes, seems to work, as you have to provide credentials for RunAs.
I would suggest you put in a lot of error handling and ensure no dialogs/msgboxes etc are shown, as you will not have a desktop and as such no way to interact with Excel if required.

The same as you schedule any task, but set it run on "When my computer
starts up". Windows 2K has that option anyway, don't know about XP. NickHK "macroplay" wrote in message ... How so I set up the task o run without logging in ? "NickHK" wrote: Eh ??
