Re: RUNRMTCMD

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

RUNRMTCMD is designed for batch processes...

Trying to use it for an interactive process (Excel) is problematic...

You'd have to have a user signed on, RUNRMTCMD will (IIRC) have to use the
user ID and password of the signed on user and you'll need "Allow service
to interact with the desktop" checked...
