I have come accross this issue when I am debugging and I stop.
The Excel object does not close when you stop debugging. Then
when I run again Excel does not appear. This is only when I have
Excel set to Visible = False.
Yes, that has happened to me before. This is on a client's box. I already had him shut down all instances of Excel and try it again .. no help .

Thanks for the reply ...
