Wonder if you can help....

I have a vbscript which I would like to run, which opens an Excel object,
refreshes some workbooks and saves the refreshed/updated versions. I would
like to run this on a server as a daily job, however I dont want to install
Excel on the Server. Is there anyway this can be done using Object
automation etc....

Thanks
Darrin

Automation opens the application in question and performs activities using
the instance of that application. Without having the application installed,
you cannot very well automate it.
