WINWORD.EXE still showing in task manager after using word to spell check text boxes.

[Tony Roost]

I have created a test VB.Net form that will use MS Word to check the spelling of text in an input box
The test application runs without a problem and I quit the word application at the end of the spell check. However, the application is leaving a trail of winword.exe processes running on the system

PC is running W2000 SP

The code and details of the form are detailed below. If anybody has any ideas about a word around or another way to add spell checking capabilities to my applications I would be grateful

Thanks Ton

The form only contains one button and a text box. I have added a reference to the com object 'Microsoft Word 9.0 Object Library' and imported it at the top of the forms VB Page

Private Sub Button1_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles Button1.Clic

checkSpell(Me.T extBox1.Text

End Su

Private Sub checkSpell(ByVa l strText
Dim oWord As New Word.Applicatio n(
Dim oDoc As Word._Documen
' Check the spelling.
' If the spelling is incorrect then do the full word document thing..

If Not oWord.CheckSpel ling(strText) The
oWord = CreateObject("W ord.Application "

oWord.Visible = Tru
oDoc = oWord.Documents .Ad

oDoc.Range.Text = Me.TextBox1.Tex

' Setup the option
With oWord.Applicati on.Option
.CheckGrammarWi thSpelling = Tru
.SuggestSpellin gCorrections = Tru
End Wit

' Check the spellin

oDoc.CheckSpell ing(

' Return the value back to the text bo

Me.TextBox1.Tex t = oDoc.Range.Tex

' Set the saved flag so that we don't get prompted to save the documen
' that we are about to close.

oDoc.Saved = Tru

' Close the documen

oDoc.Close(Fals e

End I

' Tidy up the allocations..

Tr
' Quit the word applicatio

CType(oWord, Word._Applicati on).Quit(
oDoc = Nothin
oWord = Nothin
Catch excp As Exceptio

End Tr
End Sub

Tony-

Try adding oWord.Quit to the end of the routine.

Thanks for the sugguestion but it is already there (CType(oWord, Word._Applicati on).Quit()). I have actually found a solution. I removed the following line :

oWord = CreateObject("W ord.Application "

It seems that an instance of word is created when I create the word object (Dim oWord As New Word.Applicatio n())

Thanks again
Ton
