Dear Sir:
I have the same issue. As Joe mentioned before, "Everytime when an Excel activex automation is opened, it needs to be properly closed. If your vi opened excel but without either closing it or disposing its reference, it will hang in the memory (sometimes you may even notice when you double click on an excel file in explorer and you see only the title bar and toolbars but the working area is transparent. you will also see multiple excel references reside in the memory. The image showed a way to close the automation reference only and leave Excel open.
It seems NI updated the "Dispose Report.vi", however, I noticed the order of closing references are not what they should be. The correct order should be: shapes, _worksheet, Sheets, _workbook, _Application."
I already follow the suggestion to modified Dispose Report.vi, unfortunately, it did not work. I am using Labview7.1. How should I modify this vi to solve this problem? Thanks.
Fred
