I am hoping someone can help me.

Using a FoxPro program to output data into an Excel sheet. The program runs
fine, but leaves an invisible excel open. The only way to determine whether
or not an excel is open is to look in the task manager (Alt + Ctrl + Del).
The computer completely locks up until the invisible excel in the task
manager has been cancelled.

Commands used are

oleexcel = CREATEOBJECT("Excel.application")
oleexcel.APPLICATION.workbooks.OPEN(&rpt_name)
oleexcel.APPLICATION.worksheets("Sheet1").ACTIVATE

oleexcel.activeworkbook.SAVE
oleexcel.APPLICATION.workbooks(1).saved = .T.
oleexcel.APPLICATION.workbooks(1).CLOSE
