I called Microsoft using one of our MSDN incidents. Basically Office is designed for interactive usage and they do not recommend automating it with an unattended application. Like you said, you need to have Excel installed, but they do not support Office being installed on a server because it is not designed to work on a server and cause unexpected results.

Here is a link showing their “Not supported” statement and their “at your own risk” workarounds:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=257757

I used the workaround towards the end of the article related to “How to configure Office applications to run under the interactive user account” and I put the application on a client PC using scheduled tasks instead of on a server.

Thanks for you help Dave!! Smile | :)
