Activex Excel Automation: the Missing Handle

[Ajay_MV]

Hellow dudes,

I have explored on this bug and have come with a solution from NI support team.  We handled the ActiveSheet read property node alone in a separate VI and accessed that VI dynamically (i.e, using Open VI reference, Call By Reference and Close Reference).  Closing the VI which contains the "ActiveSheet" property node removes the excel process from memory and hence this dynamic calling closes the excel process in memory.  I implemented this in the NI excel addon itself and it work very good.

Thanks,

Ajay.

Hello. 

I think I have the same problem. I close Excel but a process is still running. 

It works with killing excel.exe but I don't like this solution.

Could you please show your solution ?

I don't understand very well what part you have put in a new VI.

Thanks a lot.
