Try Application.Quit

Hello I am having a problem closing excel (from the Process List) when I am
done using the Spreadsheet.

The code below works, however, when the application first starts, before I
create the Excel Object in code, the reference from the designer creates an
Excel.exe in the process list that never gets destroyed. I even tried
running the Garbage Collector, which still did not remove the process.

Any Suggestions are greatly appreciated,
