Running an excel macro from the task manager
 

I wish to run an excel macro from the task manager. I have the Workbook with
an auto_open, but the macro will not execuite at any security level(so I
don't think that is the problem) The macro seems to take the first "A" as an
end of file.
If I could put the macro in a text file and run it with the command
interpreter that wold also work.

Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.

You can run excel from the Start - Run window optio by typing the following

excel c:\temp\book1.xls

This wil work from the cmd intepreter. It is more common these days to use
a Workbook_Open macro then to use the auto run feature.

Joel that did work. I did try the workbook open before. It would open the
worksheet but would not automatically execuite the macro. Since the macro
(workbook) is signed that may make a difference. But the full path name did
work for me.
Thank you very much
