I have several VB6.0 programs that open Excel, writes data in cells,
closes
Excel several times within a program. This worked beautiful with Office
2000
without a hitch. My company recently pushed Office 2003 onto our
machines,
and the same programs no longer closes Excel. There is an instance for
each
time it opened Excel remaining in the background. This presents a problem
for large number of instances. Does anyone know about this change in
Excel?
I've tested it on several machines with/without the new 2003 version.

Use Application.Quit
