Cetin,

I still got an error when I tried to close Excel myself by clicking the x at the top right corner. The test itself worked great, the error is only when you try to close it.

>Naomi,
>It is not the simpliest test. Ignoring mdot just makes things complex. Second, you are using a filename like temp which might be used somewhere else too and causing a clash. Use sys(2015) instead. Here is another sample based on multiple free tables:
