Cleaning up Excel After using Excel Interop

Hello

I am having an issue with my code below not closing EXCEL.EXE when I
tell it do. Any help would be appreciated.

-----

Dim excel As Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Excel .Application
Dim wb As Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Excel .Workbook
Dim ws As Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Excel .Worksheet

excel = New Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Excel .Application
wb = excel.Workbooks .Open(strDynami cFileName)
ws = wb.Sheets.Item( 1)

excel.Visible = False
wb.Activate()

.... REMOVED FUNCTION CODE HERE

' Clean up
System.Runtime. InteropServices .Marshal.Releas eComObject(ws)
ws = Nothing
wb.Close()
System.Runtime. InteropServices .Marshal.Releas eComObject(wb)
wb = Nothing
excel.Quit()
System.Runtime. InteropServices .Marshal.Releas eComObject(exce l)
excel = Nothing

First, I would change the name of your Excel variable from "excel" to
something else.
Second, I'd rearrange the code to be like this:
' Clean up
wb.Close()
excel.Quit()
System.Runtime. InteropServices .Marshal.Releas eComObject(ws)
System.Runtime. InteropServices .Marshal.Releas eComObject(wb)
System.Runtime. InteropServices .Marshal.Releas eComObject(exce l)
ws = Nothing
wb = Nothing
excel = Nothing

I have to write a lot of data to excel for analysts who use it further from there but would like to use managed C++ and not C# since a lot of code is involved which already exists now in managed C++. In C# I could handle it easily as you can see in this sample: using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel; .... private Excel.Application thisApplication; private Excel.Workbook myWorkbook1;

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
