"flaky" ?
maybe add
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
before this line?

I am running some automated reports and using a batch file to run them in
sequence, one issue I am having is forcing each report to close after it
is
complete, the command I am using is

application.quit but this seems to be very flaky, is there a better way to
force excel to close when the report is complete

thanks
