programatically opening project - problem on windows 2003 server

[Rob]

I'm using System.Diagnostics.Process in the following manner to start up
project professional allowing me to log on and open a project:

String sTarget = @"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINPROJ.EXE";
String sArguments = "/s http://server23k/myprojectserver /u Administrator /p
mypassword myprojectfile;

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(sTarget, sArguments);

This code works fine in XP. However in windows 2003 server, it only gets as
far as the logon prompt. I tried running from a DOS prompt and I get the
same result. So does Win2003 have extra security to get past or is there a
setting in Project Pro which I had set on one machine and not the other?

Any help appreciated.

I open project using the Shell command. See the attached links for more
info.
