Excel workbook not released after being read from MS Access

I use VBA in Access to read data from an Excel workbook and append it to a table in Access.

Problem is that I cannot edit the Excel workbook afterwards, because it is "open in Excel". Below is the message that I get when trying to rename the Excel workbook. Then below that is the  code that I use.

What should I do?

Dim ExcelApp As excel.Application
Dim ExcelBook As excel.Workbook
Dim ExcelSheet As excel.Worksheet

Set ExcelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set ExcelBook = ExcelApp.Workbooks.Open(txtWorkbookToOpen)
'Define which sheet to read from
Set ExcelSheet = ExcelBook.Worksheets("Agreement Terms")

'Set ExcelSheet = ExcelBook.Worksheets(1)

Dim var As Variant 'there may be a better type to use here
'var = WkBk.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Value
'var = WkBk.Sheets(ExcelSheet).Range("A1").Value
