Hi all,

I'm trying to find a way to kick off an "application.ontTime" without having
to start Excel Manually, so the Macro needs to first start Excel and then run
my application. Is that possible? and how?
--
Thank you...

There is an obscure tool in Windows using the StartAll
ProgramsAccessoriesSystemToolsScheduled Tasks. Open the scheduling wizard
and follow the prompts.

I have never tried it, so I cannot say for sure, but the information I read
indicates that it will. Try it and see.

It is an option you can set when you create the task. You can specify
that you must be logged on or you can specify to run the task even if
you're not logged on.
