Application.quit
I recently added to the Workbook_Before_Close procedure the following code ---
---------- ---------- ThisWorkbook.Save Application.Quit Now, when I open Excel, I get an error msg: PERSONAL.XLS is locked for editing...........with the options to 1 Open as Read Only 2 Notify Me 3 Cancel If I Open the file (or any Excel file) I get another Error Msg ----"The instruction at 0x3005c5eb" referenced memory at "0x00000018". The memory could not be written." The OK button then closes Excel and the Cancel button opens Visual Basic with code in C++ ---------------------------- How do I regain access to the Excel application and why does the code I used cause this? |

Application.quit
Close all applications and
Try deleting all the files in your temp folder. Then reboot. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "cush" wrote: I recently added to the Workbook_Before_Close procedure the following code --- ---------- ---------- ThisWorkbook.Save Application.Quit Now, when I open Excel, I get an error msg: PERSONAL.XLS is locked for editing...........with the options to 1 Open as Read Only 2 Notify Me 3 Cancel If I Open the file (or any Excel file) I get another Error Msg ----"The instruction at 0x3005c5eb" referenced memory at "0x00000018".

Open the Windows Task Manager (press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC). Go to the Processes
tab and find EXCEL.EXE. Select the EXCEL.EXE process then click on the "End Process" button. Terminate all EXCEL.EXE processes that you see. If that does not work or if you don't see an EXCEL process in the task manager, try to reboot your computer. -- Hope that helps.

Tom,
I'm confused about the location of this temp folder. I have a Temp folder located at Docs and Settings\Admin\Local Settings\Temp with approx 75 folders therein ... among them is a folder labeled Excel8.0 I'm hesitant in deleting this entire Temp folder as I am over my head here and I don't want to lose something that is vital. Can you be specific regarding the location of the temp folder you are referencing. thanks "Tom Ogilvy" wrote: Close all applications and Try deleting all the files in your temp folder.

That would be the one. I don't think you need to delete the sub
directories, only the files in the temp folder itself. That said, it has always been my impression that if it is in the temp folder and not in use, it can be deleted, including subdirectories. If you try to delete everything at once, you may get a message that a specific file can not be deleted - you will need to work around these. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "cush" wrote: Tom, I'm confused about the location of this temp folder.

If you don't feel comfortable with deleting files in the Temp folder, maybe
just move them to a different folder. If for whatever reason, you need to get the files back in the Temp folder, you can just move them back over. -- Hope that helps.
