Excel Not clearing from memory
We have an issue with the Excel.exe not clearing from the list of processes, but only on 64bit systems (Windows 7 and Server 2008). 32bit is fine
CREATE @Application of @Excel handle in EX-APP
MODIFY EX-APP @Workbooks::Open ( ws-ltout-file ,0,0)
giving EX-WORKBOOK.
MODIFY EX-WORKBOOK @PrintOut()
call "c$sleep" using "2"
# next line added, but no change in behavior
MODIFY EX-APP @DisplayAlerts = 0
MODIFY EX-WORKBOOK @Close()
DESTROY EX-WORKBOOK
MODIFY EX-APP @Quit()
DESTROY EX-APP
I've seen the following online, but I'm not sure how to code this in Acu.
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(obj)
obj = Nothing
Thank you for any assistance!

RE: Excel Not clearing from memory
You may want to contact Customer Care ... a fix for 9.2.0 ecn4182: : EXCEL.EXE fails to shut down when destroying the handle .. you may need to get a patch to whatever version you are using.
