If there's no different from xlapp.quit, then Application.Quit doesn't work
either.

And, Tushar, no one makes changes but me, and I haven't made any since the
move to Office 2003. I did notice that alot of the DLLs have been updated.
I'm about ready to go back to Office 2000, if the company will let me.

One common cause of why XL doesn't close is at

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.
