Here is the end part of my code (lots of other stuff done first) where I want
to open a database in Access (so that the user can take further action) and
then close out excel:

Set mdapp = CreateObject("access.application")
With mdapp
..Visible = True
..OpenCurrentDatabase ("S:\Financial Analysis\Labor Report.mdb")
End With
Windows("labor report.xls").Activate
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Excel.Application.Quit

However, this closes out the MS Application as well as the Excel
Application. Note: This only started happening when I switched to Excel 2007
from 2003 (in 2003, excel would close but access would stay open). Anyone
know what could have changed? How should I re-write to get the desired result?

Thanks.
