A little background: in vfp5, I had to use GETOBJECT() to instantiate an excel application, since CREATEOBJ('Excel.Application') OLE-errored on some machines. So, I had it working fine with GETOBJECT.

Then moved the app to vfp6, discovered:

a) GETOBJECT() didn't work any longer.
b) CREATEOBJ('Excel.Application') works fine now. However, if a user does not save an Excel sheet, it stays hidden in memory until the user shuts down the machine (not the vfp app or Excel, those close fine). At Shutdown user is prompted with "Do You Want to Save Book4" (or whatever) under Win95. Under NT, I had a Dr. Watson error. I can't find the instances running in the Task list...

My current last line of code in each Excel method is just:

thisform.oExcel.Visible = .T.

which worked fine under my vfp5 method. What do I need to add to close the OLE Excel application instance? Probably something simple, but this one's hard to test since I have to do a Shutdown to test it.
