Related to this ... I have a problem.
I've made an application in VB .NET that opens an excel file and writes data into it from a flexgrid... and has some seven different forms to view that data.
My problem is...
THe excel objects that are opened by the code... remain open...
i.e; they keep showing in my task manager...
and I have to end process each of them.

To close the object I've used.
xlsheet.workbooks.close()
xlsheet = nothing

Can someone help??
Thnks..

Thnks for the reply. That's exactly related to my prob.
I've tried doing this also. But for some matter it still doesn't work.
Is there some way that we can check if there is an excel object still showing in the task manager and run a loop to end all the excel objects from it ?

F.Y.I : I am using an existing xlsheet and opening and closing the same one for the data display and input.

Thanks again.

Try this:

Code:

---

        Dim ps() As System.Diagnostics.Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("Excel")
        Dim p As Process
        For Each p In ps
            p.Kill()
        Next
