Hi All

I open an instance of excel from access

dim xlapp = excel.application

set xlapp = new excel.application

I do all the stuff i need to do then

xlapp.quit
set xlapp = nothing

Excel appears to close but the process is still running in
the task manager. When i close access the process
disappears. I am running office 97

I have searched the net for a solution to this and all the
answers i find suggest that using the quit method should
work. However, it doesn't.

does anybody have a real solution to this problem.

thanks
michelle
