On our systems the EXCEL COM object executes as a member of "SYSTEM" instead of as a child of the owner of the Apache/php server. When the COM object completes it leaves the EXCEL hanging around as a child of a SYSTEM process.

Excel does properly exit... so it looks like you are correct -- it's probably a bug in PHP's COM code. Attached is is sample Perl, PHP and Excel, if anyone wants to verify that excel does indeed die after the perl script is finished, yet stays alive when the PHP script is finished. --- Scott Hurring Systems Programmer EAC Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: 201-462-2149 Fax: 201-288-1515 > -----Original Message----- > Try > > $book->Close("False"); > Doesnt do anything. > But then one has to ask, why does it work fine from other > languages, e.g. Perl?
