asking for a VBS Handling advice

[irGed]

Hi everyone!

I have this code that simply opens a .xlsm file and then save it as .xls. The code is working fine, but sometimes at a very small chance, it's already been 10 minutes and the "conversion" is not yet finished, and just leaves an EXCEL.EXE instance on my task manager and a 1890A980.file on my target directory.

I would like to ask for an advice on how to handle this properly since this functionality is deployed on a server.

Btw, my vbs is invoke via cscript command.

The code is:

On Error Resume Next
Dim ArgObj, var1, var2
Set ArgObj = WScript.Arguments 
 
var1 = ArgObj(0) 
var2 = ArgObj(1) 
 
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(var1)
 
objExcel.DisplayAlerts = 0
objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs var2, 56
objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Close
if err.Number<>0 then
    WScript.Echo "VB-98," + err.Description
    else
    WScript.Echo "VB-00"
    end if
objExcel.Quit
Set    objExcel = Nothing
set ArgObj = Nothing
 

Thanks.
