Quit event missing in Excel.
 
Hi There,

I am accessing excel via COM using Python, but Python's interface is
identical to that of VBA.

Using events, I can catch the closing of a workbook.
However, I need to perform some tasks upon closing of the entire
excel application.

Strangely enough, there is no Quit event defined for Excel, whereas
MS-Word does have a quit event.

How can I have my code triggered upon application exit?

Thanks,

Bram Stolk

Quit event missing in Excel.
 
Excel has a workbook event:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
End Sub
You could use that as a trigger.
