Application.Quit Help

[AndFel]

Hi
I’m writing an Outlook macro that looks in the incoming mails and, selects the specific mails, opens the attachments (only excel files), and copy the contents into another workbook, the process is really simple. Anyway after I close the workbooks, and the application, the Applications keeps rolling in the system!
I have already read other post in the forum, suggesting to use System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject...., but it doesn’t work in the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor of Outlook, or I don’t know how make it work.
I don’t know if there is another way to end this procces? Could you help me pls??

Public Function StockReportXlabel(ByVal newStockReport As Attachment) Dim xlsApp as Excel.Application Dim DataModel As Excel.Workbook Dim newFile As Excel.Workbook Dim filePath As String, srLines As Double, fileName As String filepath = i save the attachement in a local folder and gets the path xlsApp.Visible = False xlsApp.DisplayAlerts = False xlsApp.ScreenUpdating = False Set DataModel = xlsApp.Workbooks.Open(fileName:=DATA_PREPARATION_PATH, ReadOnly:=False) Set newFile = xlsApp.Workbooks.Open(fileName:=filePath, ReadOnly:=True) newFile.Activate Range("A6", Cells(Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row, 9)).Copy DataModel.Activate Range("A2").Select ActiveCell.PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats xlsApp.CutCopyMode = False newFile.Close savechanges:=False Set new File = Nothing srLines = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row ActiveWorkbook.Names("SR_New").RefersToR1C1 = "=StockReport!R2C1:R" & srLines & "C9" Range("A1").Select DataModel.Close savechanges:=True Set DataModel = Nothing xlsApp.Quit Set xlsApp = Nothing End Function

Welcome to MrExcel.

Why are you using unqualified Excel objects in Outlook code, eg Range, Cells, ActiveCell and ActiveWorkbook?

I use the ddl for Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library... (Tools-->References-->and i search it)... It makes it simple for me

That doesn't answer my question. You should fully qualify all Excel properties:

You still have to properly qualify your objects or you will see the behaviour you describe. Try something like:

Public Function StockReportXlabel(ByVal newStockReport As Attachment)
Dim xlsApp As Excel.Application
Dim DataModel As Excel.Workbook
Dim newFile As Excel.Workbook

Dim filePath As String, srLines As Double, fileName As String

filepath = i save the attachement in a local folder and gets the path


xlsApp.Visible = False
xlsApp.DisplayAlerts = False
xlsApp.ScreenUpdating = False

Set DataModel = xlsApp.Workbooks.Open(fileName:=DATA_PREPARATION_PATH, ReadOnly:=False)
Set newFile = xlsApp.Workbooks.Open(fileName:=filePath, ReadOnly:=True)
With newFile.ActiveSheet
    .Range("A6:I" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row).Copy
End With

DataModel.Range("A2").PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats

xlsApp.CutCopyMode = False
newFile.Close savechanges:=False

Set newFile = Nothing

With DataModel
    With .ActiveSheet
        srLines = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    End With
    .Names("SR_New").RefersToR1C1 = "=StockReport!R2C1:R" & srLines & "C9"
    .Close savechanges:=True
End With

Set DataModel = Nothing
xlsApp.Quit
Set xlsApp = Nothing
End Function

It Works!!! I can’t believe it was that easy !!
Thanks a lot!
