>Be carefull - you must quit successfully created Excel application. Or else it will stay in memory upon OS reload. For instance, I check Excel presence by such function :
>
>***************************************
>FUNCTION ExcelPresent
>***************************************
>TRY
> loz=CREATEOBJECT('excel.application')
> lcVersion=loz.Version
>CATCH
> lcVersion=''
>ENDTRY
>IF !EMPTY(lcVersion)
> loz.quit() && don't forget to do it
>ENDIF
>RETURN !EMPTY(lcVersion)

Hi Sergey,

I usually do it in a different way, like this

try
 ...
  
catch
  ...
finally

  if vartype(loExcel) = 'O'
    loExcel.Quit
   loExcel = null
   release loExcel
 endif
endtry
