Don't know if this is the right group, but:

I am creating an Excel spreadsheet in a VB6 application and when the app
ends I have lost a considerable chunk of available memory on the Windows
95 desktop machine where the app is running. I am using the Excel 9.0
object library and I am very careful to close the book, quit the app and
set all the objects to nothing.

Does anybody have any clues what I may be doing wrong?
