I have an excel macro that is run as a scheduled task using the windows XP
scheduler.

Is it possible to have the macro run without having to login into windows ?

thanks
 
Yes, seems to work, as you have to provide credentials for RunAs.
I would suggest you put in a lot of error handling and ensure no
dialogs/msgboxes etc are shown, as you will not have a desktop and as such
no way to interact with Excel if required.

The same as you schedule any task, but set it run on "When my computer
starts up".
Windows 2K has that option anyway, don't know about XP.
