How do I close or stop an Excel process

[RUrm]

Hi,

I have an LV application which transfers data to and from an EXcel-Workbook.

My problem is that after closing the Workbook and quitting the Excel-application the actual process (can be seen in the taskmanager) is still present. It goes away only when the LV-application ends.

There is no problem as long as I don't activate any specific worksheet. But I have to do this to access the correct data.

Has someone an idea what's going on?

Thank you

Use the attached VI to kill (close) Excel once you have proramatically closed it.

Give the command excel.exe in the Taskname field in the VI.

Thank you,

it works (as you knew already)!

And here is my next question:

I use this systemexe.vi for a synchronisation process and it is rather annoying that it opens the DOS like window each time it is called.

Is there perhaps a possibility to make the window invisible?

Have you looked at setting the Run Minimized to True?

Thank you,

it had helped, if I had at least as much eyes open as Dilbert, when I looked at the VI.
