Subject:      Using DDE with Excel in Batch mode

I am running Win2k and have SAS (8.2) jobs scheduled (with the windows
scheduler) to run in the wee hours of the morning that create Excel 97
spreadsheets.  Every thing seems to run ok when I am logged in on the
system.  However when I do the Ctl-Alt-Del and lock the workstation the
jobs run but create a trashed out spreadsheet.  The only difference between
a good run and bad run is to be active in the terminal.  Any solutions or
things I might try?
