    Hi Mike,
 Log on as Administrator, 'Find' the excel.exe file, right click and choose
properties, choose Security tab(note: with home edition you must boot in
safe mode to see security settings). See if the user has the needed access
to the program there. Also The FOLDER in which the excel document is to be
stored.
