You need to explicitly 'Close' the instance of Excel. All you have done (in your example) is destroyed the Object you created


So try: objExcel.Close

then destroy objExcel

[dglienna]

You need to set the sheet to nothing, close the workbook, set the workbook to nothing, quit the application, and then set the application to nothing.
In that order:

Set ExlSheet = Nothing
  ExlWorkBook.Close SaveChanges:=False
  Set ExlWorkBook = Nothing
  ExlAppTemp.Quit
  Set ExlAppTemp = Nothing
  Exit Sub

[dglienna]

You are only setting the Excel Object to nothing if you close it there.
You should set it to nothing regardless. Put the duplicated code after the if statemnt. It won't hurt to set it to nothing twice.

Follow the steps above with everything.

Here is a module I use to close my apps.

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
 Dim frm As Form
  Dim obj As Object
  For Each frm In Forms
     If frm.Name <> Me.Name Then ' Unload this form LAST
       For Each obj In frm
         On Error Resume Next
           Unload obj
           Set obj = Nothing
       Next
       Unload frm
       Set frm = Nothing
     End If
    Next
    On Error Resume Next
      For Each obj In frm
        Unload obj
        Set obj = Nothing
      Next
      Set frm = Nothing
      Unload Me
End Sub

There may be a problem with your IsAppOpen function. Do you really need to use this? Can you post the code for it?

This will not work with Excel objects as it is more used for VB variable objects.

Without seeing all your Excel code we can not determine what your leaving open. You MUST close and destroy all Excel objects and quit and destroy the application(s) object(s) in order to release all references to Excel and allow it to close.

I have never had a problem qoing a myExcel.Quit function then setting all my excel objects to nothing. The program closes just fine and I think I am getting all of my resources back. Am I wrong? I know that Excel closes when I do this without issue.

[RobDog888]

It may close fine and not show in the taskmanager but I do believe that the references would still be resident and not relase all your resources.

Edit: Moved to Office Development Forum.

To close without saving....

myExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
myExcel.Quit

then set objects = Nothing

[RobDog888]

Instead of .DisplayAlerts you could do the same thing with setting the .Saved property of the workbook to True in order to bypass the prompt.
