Hi Experts, <br />
I use D7 to write an application to read a Excel file and extract some content and insert into SQL database. Everything is fine but I don't know how to end the Excel in the application. I examine with task manager and find several 'EXCEL.EXE'. <br />
<br />
I use the follow statement to create the oleobject<br />
&nbsp; <br />
&nbsp; if opendialog.Execute then begin<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;xlsfile :=opendialog.FileName;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;myexcel := createoleobject('excel.app<wbr />lication')<wbr />;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;mywb:=myexcel.workbooks.op<wbr />en(xlsfile<wbr />);<br />
<br />
<br />
Then how do I close/free the object?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
