Questions:
I am doing some automation with vbscript and everytime I run the script, it leaves the process “EXCEL.EXE” running. How do I prevent that?
Code:
Set oFs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set objExcel = createObject("Excel.Application")
set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.open("C:\test\test.xlsx")
for each sheet in objWorkbook.worksheets
wscript.echo(sheet.name)
set objSheet = sheet
next
set objSheet = Nothing
set objworkbook = Nothing
set objExcel = Nothing
Set oFs = Nothing
How do I prevent EXCEL.exe from continuing to run after my script exits?
How to&Answers:
Use this to close Excel as well. Just replace your code after Next with the following.
set objSheet = Nothing
'Tells workbook to close without saving changes.
objWorkbook.Close false
set objworkbook = Nothing
'Tells Excel Application to quit.
objExcel.Quit
set objExcel = Nothing
Set oFs = Nothing
