Excel don't close after a activeX manipulation?

[thomaspi@my-deja.com]

I have wrote an subVI to archive some measurements and a subVI to view
the archive. These VIs are used in a "State machine" program.
After an archive is execute, excel stays active (excel stays in the
PROCESS TASK MANAGER). This situation creates an error when I want to
launch the reading of my archive.If I stop the "state machine", excel
disappears of the PROCESS TASK MANAGER.

Hi,

I am experiencing this same problem with TestStand 2.0. Did you ever figure out how to resolve this issue?

Thanks.

You need to close the reference to excel after your ActiveX calls. Be aware that if you have the Error in of the Close Reference VI connected, the excel instance will not be closed if an error is passed to the close Reference.
