Try closing all workbooks before calling quit.
Something as simple as...
Workbooks.Close
Application.Quit

If you are automating Excel, then you have to call quit on the object reference not "Application".

Good tip - thank you. To make it work I ended up closing the
workbooks one by one - something like:

ActiveWorkbook.Close Savechanges:=False
Workbooks("Name_01.xls").Close Savechanges:=False

(Still working on this - the last workbook for some reason is not
closing)

As an aside, I always thought that "Application.Quit" will close all
workbooks no questions asked.

Again, Thank you.
