Remote shut down of Excel
Something that I did realize was that the excel workbooks that are giving
problems are the ones where my function forces a user-form to open and it stays open until the workbook closes. So there maybe an event I need to set to clean up the shut down? Any thoughts? ";-)" wrote in message ... This code works for ~20 sets of excel workbooks. ONE of the sets (a single workbook) always crashes the workbook, with a request to contact MS with the error report. The last crash gave me a DDE server crash error. Is there any thing in the sheet that would cause this? For i = 1 To rsMaster.RecordCount 'Set xl(i) = New Excel.Application 'Early binding Set xl(i) = CreateObject("Excel.Application") 'Late Binding With xl(i) If admin Then 'hide from user? .Visible = True Else .Visible = False End If .Application.WindowState = xlMinimized .Application.DisplayAlerts = False .Workbooks.Open FileName:=(pathExcel & rsMaster!Source), UpdateLinks:=0, ReadOnly:=False End With rsMaster.MoveNext Next i '...much work done Set rsLbl = xl(i).Application.Run("getRs", rsLbl) 'call Excel Function '...much work done 'now end For Each x In xl() x.ActiveWorkbook.Saved = True x.Quit Set x = Nothing Next |

Remote shut down of Excel
Thanks, I will try it after my coffee.
I have 20 production/product lines. Only one line is run at a time. Each has 1 to 5 excel workbooks. I just chose this method because it was the first one I tried and now I don't want to mess with a working application. The user can watch any of the excel sheets working this way, and if any dies the others are not effected. These are (mostly) created by the clients engineering dept with various levels of programming knowledge. My next product line (the last) will combine ~8 linked(altho local) workbooks into one with a user interface and the remote control function listed here.
