I have a macro assigned to start when the file is opened. The .xls file is assigned to start using MS Scheduled tasks each morning at 6:00 am. The macro is working fine but for some unknown reason the macro will not initiate unless the desktop is logged in. The file starts up but the macro does not run until I am logged in. The second I log onto the computer (screensaver is enabled), the macro completes.

Any ideas?

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
