Task Scheduler Stopped Working - Excel

[profector]

Hello ... gotta problem with the Task Scheduler opening my excel files. For a while I've been using the task scheduler to open excel files and access reports. Both the Excel files and the Access report work under the same basic idea. When the file is opened fresh data is pulled and gets emailed out. A few of weeks ago the task scheduler stopped opening the Excel files. The Access reports still work and everything else in the task scheduler still works. This happening shortly after I installed Office 2013 so I uninstalled it (back to 2010) hoping things would go back to normal, but it didn't work. I've tried deleting the tasks and recreating them, renaming the files, clearing the temp files, and moving the files to a new location.

I've been opening the files manually for a while now, so the files seem to be fine. Any ideas?

Well I changed the task scheduler to open a batch file and used it to open the excel file. It worked one time. The first time it run fine. The second time it fired off hours after it was scheduled. After that it hasn't worked again. If a manually open the excel file it does it's job.

Coming back to this again. I've been manually running this for the last few month. I have a couple of Access reports that have been running fine.
