Jeff: Releasing MyExcel gave me back my mem, but only when I try the lines in the command window, but when I run that from within a program, mem is still missing.

Something else?

Tks.

>>I´ve found that accessing the pagesetup object of an excel application uses some memory wich is not released after closing the excel object.
>>
>>Try this:
>>1. Check the amount of memory available (setup - control Panel - system - performance)
>>2. run the following code
>>
>>MyExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
>>MyExcel.WorkBooks.Add()
>>MyExcel.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.CenterHeader = "MY HEADER "
>>MyExcel.ActiveWorkBook.Close(.F.)
>>
>>3. Check the available memory again (it´s decreased in about 2 - 4%)
>>4. Run the code again except for the 3rd line
>>3. Check the available memory again (it´s NOT decreased from last check)
