Thanks, but that's not it. I know to close the big red x. The application
remains open even when I do this. I should have added that I'm using Excel
2007 too.

"File" "Exit" ot the big X in the upper right corner, not the smaller x to
close only the workbook.

I can't seem to find the setting to change this. If I open an Excel file, and
then close it, the Excel program remains open (and blank). I would like the
Excel program to close when I close the last file. Can somebody tell me where
this setting may be located?

Thanks!
