Hmmm.  You should be running SAS in batch so you DON'T get the GUI
(gooey?)
parts popping up.  Try adding the following options to your SAS call:

> "D:\Program Files\SAS Institute\SAS\V8\sas.exe" -sysin d:\myprog.sas

  "D:\Program Files\SAS Institute\SAS\V8\sas.exe" -sysin

  -noterminal -nosplash -noxwait noxsync

  d:\myprog.sas

It's possible.  Can you run this very SAS program from asp.net when
you don't go to batch mode?

HTH,
