Ghost Process using Excel Object Library

[Men@work]

Hello,
im using LabWindows/CVI 5.5 on Win2k SP4 (and a lot more patches) and try to use Excel (2003) to save measurement data. opening,writing,reading,...,saving,closing works all like charm with one exception - there is always a ghost process left behind eating a lot of memory.
I'm quite sure i cleaned up all my used objecthandels with "CA_DiscardObjHandle" - oh and the supplied sample (activex\excel\excel2000dem) shows this behavior too.
Is this a confirmed/annoying/never go away bug, or am I just missing something?

Thanks in advance

Andreas

Make sure you are calling the Quit method on the Application object before you discard the application object. Also, some ActiveX servers will continue running if you make them visible and the user interacts with the program (like clicking a menu or typing some keys in the program) - in such cases, the program expects the user to quit it.

Thanks for the answer,
but it looks like (at least for me) that i do everything correct. As in the example I first call Excel_AppQuit an then clear the application objecthandel. Since no user interaction is intended, Excel is set to be invisible.

Anybody else got an idea ??

I can only confirm that I have the same problem with Excel 2003. Excel 2000 appears to shut down OK.
