We're trying to automate generation of reports using excel with an addin to
retrieve data from an external data historian. We have the workbooks
functioning, in fact we've been running them from and old desktop for months.
However the desktop is becoming increasingly unsortable (and unstable) so
we're trying to move this function to a server. Our server ops folks won't
allow the sever to sit with a user logged into it so we need to find a way to
run excel in the backgound and still use the addin.
I've had some limited success with running excel in the background but to
the best that I can determine the addin doesn't load. Tried explicitly
loading it from vba inside the autoload subroutine but still doesn't seem to
work.
Anyone out there have any experience with this scenario?
