_ExcelBookClose not ending Excel Process

[TSprouse]

I'm running Win7 (Retail Ver) and Excel 2007

#include <Array.au3>
#include <Excel.au3>

$oExcel = _ExcelBookOpen("d:\temp\CADStations.xlsx",1)
$aryMachines = _ExcelReadSheetToArray($oExcel)
_ExcelBookClose($oExcel)

I've tried thesuggestions in this thread... http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=99416&st=0&p=717149

But none of that seems to be working.

does anyone have any other thoughts?

$PID = ProcessExists("excel.exe")
ProcessClose($PID)

This may also work

$oExcel.Application.Quit

[TSprouse]

$PID = ProcessExists("excel.exe")
ProcessClose($PID)

Getting the PID and using Process Close did Work, thank you.

Old thread, I know, but I have a new addition / solution.

Windows 7 x64, Office 2010, latest AutoIt

Close process using PID did not work for me. If I open an Exccel file after that (using regular double click in Windows Explorer), I get a warning on the left side: Previous file... XLS did not close properly.

But, a simple solution is this - last 2 lines:

$ex01 = _ExcelBookOpen("file.xls", 0)
_ExcelBookClose($ex01, 0, 0)
$ex01 = ""

After that, exel.exe process is gone from memory in an instant.
