Darren,
I almost never do that. It might be the point. I generally do like this:

with oExcel.ActiveWorkBook.ActiveSheet
.Something

vs
oSheet = oExcel.ActiveWorkBook.ActiveSheet
oSheet.Something

I can't say it's the incorrect way. Just not using like that and not having problems it comes to mind. Excel leaving open in processes suggests there is a hanging reference somewhere.
