I have a scheduled tasks that opens a batch file that runs an Excel module which runs through some calculations then sends an outlook e-mail. The e-mail, attaches some info to the body and displays, rather than sends, in order for the user to validate and the e-mail before sending. When logged in during the day, the module runs fine and does what it's supposed to do as all calculations are run and the e-mail pops up with the correct data; however, at night, the batch shows Excel ran all the calculations but the e-mail never pops up. So it's not interacting with Outlook when logged out. I'm on an Aruba system and have set up all the Windows settings to turn off display never, power & sleep turn off (never) and I don't log off at night (just switch my screen off) in hopes it doesn't log me out; however, in the morning, it has me log back in again. Is there anyway around the logoff that is happening or is there a way to force the module to communicate with outlook?
Here's the code that sends the e-mail:
