I'm not doing this through Apache. I tried out Win32 command line PHP and Perl.
So even though it might be an issue with Excel being owned by "SYSTEM" when run thru Apache, PHP still leaves it open whereas Perl does not. (And to boot, my Apache service is configured to RunAs my account "scott", so it shouldn't be plauged by the "SYSTEM" ownership issue... even though i haven't tested it) Please check out: http://furt.com/code/php/com_issues/ (Read 'readme.txt') --- Scott Hurring Systems Programmer EAC Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: 201-462-2149 Fax: 201-288-1515 > -----Original Message----- > From: Neil Lincoln [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 1:20 PM > To: Scott Hurring; Php-Win (E-mail) > Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] Excel not closing after using it via COM > > > 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.
