Hi,

I got problem using Office Templates
Im using Excel control to work with some excel file. The problem is, that
after closing Excel application the process is still active (until the
window in my clarion application is close)
and I cannot end it from source.

Window         WINDOW('Title'),AT(,,260,100),GRAY,
                           OLE,AT(33,18,10,10),USE(?SMExcel),TRN,HIDE
                           END
                           END

MSExcel1             MSExcelClass
[...]
MSExcel1.Init(Window,?SMExcel,1,1,1)
MSExcel1.CreateFile()
[...]
MSExcel1.Save('MyFile')
MSExcel1.Close(True)
MSExcel1.Quit()

The Excel Application has closed but the process EXCEL.EXE is still active.
I coudnt find any other method in help file that could help me with it.
Also such solution is not helpful:

MSExcel1             &MSExcelClass

MSExcel1 &= New(MSExcelClass)
MSExcel1.Init(Window,?SMExcel,1,1,1)
MSExcel1.CreateFile()

MSExcel1.Save('MyFile') ; MSExcel1.Close(True) ; MSExcel1.Quit()
Dispose(MSExcel1)

Only when I create another window in my procedure and put the controll on
that window,
then closing it causes that process Excell.exe to be killed. But I dont want
to create another window.
Can anyone help me how to kill Excel.exe without closing the active window?

Thanks,
Paul

I've allready tried it  but it didn't help either. Thanks anyway.

I too had same problem.
I did not find any other way than to write it in C++ instead, and call the
this C++ dll from Clarion.

Hi Paul,

Pity :(

Why not? Seems like a feasible workaround.
The 'other' window can stay hidden.
Or do you need to be able to work on this window while
Excel is open (which would become impossible then)?
