I don't think this is an Excel question, and should be put into the Excel forum. It's more like a Windows Task Scheduler question. As you might meet such a situation with any .exe file, not just Excel one.

Hi,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;I have around 10 windows scheduler task running few processes that does processing with excels file. One of the scheduler is raising a weird kind of problem. All these have different logics. Till last week everything was going fine and it started all of a sudden from last week. This is occassional i.e. occurs once or twice a day. The schedulers run 24 hours. <br />
Problem:- A scheduler is opening excel files but couldn't close them. so in task manager I could see 200+ excel.exe being opened. I want to know which scheduler is opening the file. Is there a way around I can find out the process associated with the excel.exe i.e. the parent process opening the excels?

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
