This problem is real and is undocumented as a bug by MS but has appeared several times in several newsgroups. No solutions were ever proposed. So I repeat our solution to this problem despite its brute force nature. We installed PVIEW and exec a pview KILL EXCEL* when we are done with the EXCEL COM processing. Terrible yes, but effective.

If you are very comfortable with PHP and know a little VB, there are COM VB\VBScript examples on MS's website, that (with a little work) can be translated into working PHP code. PHPbuilder has a nice article up about COM programming, and a few other sites out there have some sample code. Also, check out MS's Excel object model, which might help you figure out what you can and cannot ask the Excel COM Object to do for you :) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/modcore/htm l/deovrMicrosoftExcel2000.asp --- Scott Hurring Systems Programmer EAC Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: 201-462-2149 Fax: 201-288-1515 > -----Original Message----- > From: Jack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 5:59 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP-WIN] I want to learn more COM for my php script > > > Dear all > i know if i want the php script to access data from MS Word > or Excel, i got > to know about COM, but i don't know where to start on COM, so > is there any > Recommendation on books which i can learn about COM from the > Beginning! > > > -- > Thx a lot! > Jack > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > -- > PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
