When you say set excel?

Do you mean automate it in just the same way that this is automating IE?

If so, then yes - I'm currently writing a HTA (using vbscript) that
automates all three main office apps (word, excel, powerpoint) to
silently open a number of files (with the appropriate office app), spool
them to PCL files, then blag the spool files to a couple of hundred
print queues (basically a distributed print app).

You can control many apps like this, using objects.

With office, it's slightly more tricky using vbscript, than doing it
within the app using vba - but just as possible.
