excel not being released by vb.net
hi,
i am having a strange problem when opening excel from vb.net. the procedure tries to use an existing (running) excel app if there is one and creates a new instance if that fails. i then create a workbook, save it and release the reference to the application (without closing excel). the strange part is as follows: if i look at the task manager on the pc then there is just one instance of excel running - which is what i would expect - and i can see it as it is visible. if i close excel though (by clicking on file and exit within excel) then the running instance of excel remains in the task manager - which is not what i would expect. the problem now is that if i try to open a workbook by double clicking on it in windows explorer then it tries to open in the (now) invisible instance of excel and not opening a new one. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks. michael |
