>Ditto on NT4. Curious that oExcel = .NULL would get rid of it completely. I mean, that's good but you would think an explicit quit would work.

Why would it? Wouldn't this be like leaving a variable reference to an object around, the object doesn't go away until the reference is cleared? Seems logical to me, given the way VFP works with objects.
