I use "Scheduled Tasks" to open Excel and them populate the fields with an
XML file that I download daily via an FTP site. I have been able to open the
XML file and transform it to an Excel foramt that is then imported into
Access for database management. It works great!

After I run the macro to run Excel and import the XML data and save the
file, it then "closes" the file. But, I would also like to "close" the excel
application until it is needed the next day.

After I"close" the wooksheet, how can I "close" the Excel application?

Thanks in advance your your assistance.
