Remote Desktop problem

I am running a scrip from a network remote desktop that I am trying to schedule to run every 3 hours. My script reads a Excel page and transfers the data to a .txt page. The scrip works great if i am logged on to my remote desktop but if i am not logged on no keystrokes or mouse moves are exicuted. Its not a SetFocas problem since i have tryed meny diffrent scripts to see if any key strokes we being made.

I have worked around most of my problems but i can't find a way to close a excel file with out using key strokes or mouse movements. I have tryed closewindow>Microsoft Excel* but then is asks you if you want to save the file or not, and i can't get past this part with out SOME kind of a key stroke or mouse move. I was thinking of dos commands like Killfile /F /IM Excel.exe but i can't send any key strokes. is there a way to have Cmd open with this line pre-writen into it?

I was also wondering if there is a way to save a file in a Read Only state?

ANY Help would be GREAT.

From the FAQs:

Why do UI macros fail when I disconnect or minimize the Remote Desktop/Terminal Services session?
