Hi RP

That depends on how well written the code is. If Excel asks to save changes
or not, or something else that she may ask on quit, then it needs user
interaction. And if xlApp.Visible = True is not part of the show, then the
question will remain invisible and unanswered and the process will not be
terminated.

Best wishes Harald

The other thing I should have said is that if you create an application
object for the Excel App that you create, you can just quit that

xlApp.Quit

Could anyone provide ideas on how to kill an excel process? In our VB
6.0
app we populate data from MS Access to an MS Excel worksheet. If you
look
in
task manager you could see the excel processes running in the
background.
Also, how could we identify which excel process to kill? Especially in
the
case where a user is working on an ms excel worksheet and then generates
one
from our app. We don't want to kill the one the user is working on.
Only
the one we create from the app.
