Help on Excel bug in Access 2002 module

T

Tim

Hi folks,

I need a help to close Excel.exe in Windows Task Manager under the tag
“Processes†from Access 2002’ module.

I ran a macro Excel from Access 2002. When I ran it at the first time, it
works great. But, I would get an error message after the first time run.
After I spent several hours on it, I found that the problem was caused by
Excel bug – Excel was closed but still running in Windows Task Manager under
the tag “Processesâ€.

Here is my code segment:

Dim objExcel As Excel.Application
Dim objBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim objSheet As Excel.Worksheet
~ ~
~ ~
~ ~

objBook.Close
objExcel.Quit

Set objSheet = Nothing
Set objBook = Nothing
Set objExcel = Nothing

Could anyone show me the code to fully close excel?

Thanks in advance.

Tim.

Hmmm.... Unfortunately, I expect that the problem is in this part of your
code:

This problem almost always is caused by using an incompletely qualified
reference to some EXCEL object. Post all your code.

Hi Ken,

the error will appear. Please help.

The problem is in this step (and tho others that are similar):

Set rngRow = .Range(.Cells(2, 1), .Cells(2, 1).End(xlDown))


You need to fully qualify the Cells reference. Even though you may think
that the With ... End With syntax is doing it for you, in this case I
believe VBA is creating a new reference to the worksheet in order to use the
Cells object:

Set rngRow = .Range(objSheet.Cells(2, 1), objSheet.Cells(2,
1).End(xlDown))

So, I would eliminate the use of your With ... End With in your code, as
nothing is really being gained by it. Change this:
With objSheet
Set rngRow = .Range(.Cells(2, 1), .Cells(2, 1).End(xlDown))
End With

to this:
Set rngRow = objSheet.Range(objSheet.Cells(2, 1), objSheet.Cells(2,
1).End(xlDown))

Additionally, I like to set objects to nothing before I close out the parent
object through which it's referenced; also helps avoid "lingering"
references just in case. For example, I would change this:
objBook.Close
objExcel.Quit
Set objSheet = Nothing
Set objBook = Nothing
Set objExcel = Nothing

to this:
Set objSheet = Nothing
objBook.Close
Set objBook = Nothing
objExcel.Quit
Set objExcel = Nothing

The problem is in this step (and tho others that are similar):

Set rngRow = .Range(.Cells(2, 1), .Cells(2, 1).End(xlDown))


You need to fully qualify the Cells reference. Even though you may think
that the With ... End With syntax is doing it for you, in this case I
believe VBA is creating a new reference to the worksheet in order to use
the
Cells object:

Set rngRow = .Range(objSheet.Cells(2, 1), objSheet.Cells(2,
1).End(xlDown))

So, I would eliminate the use of your With ... End With in your code, as
nothing is really being gained by it. Change this:
With objSheet
Set rngRow = .Range(.Cells(2, 1), .Cells(2, 1).End(xlDown))
End With

to this:
Set rngRow = objSheet.Range(objSheet.Cells(2, 1), objSheet.Cells(2,
1).End(xlDown))

Additionally, I like to set objects to nothing before I close out the
parent
object through which it's referenced; also helps avoid "lingering"
references just in case. For example, I would change this:
objBook.Close
objExcel.Quit
Set objSheet = Nothing
Set objBook = Nothing
Set objExcel = Nothing

to this:
Set objSheet = Nothing
objBook.Close
Set objBook = Nothing
objExcel.Quit
Set objExcel = Nothing

Hi Ken,

Here is my full set of code. It ran great at the first time. After
that,
the error will appear. Please help.

Public Sub y()

Dim objExcel As Excel.Application
Dim objBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim objSheet As Excel.Worksheet

Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set objBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:\temp\Test080305.xls",
ReadOnly:=True)
Set objSheet = objBook.Worksheets("qryTest")
objExcel.Visible = True

With objSheet
Set rngRow = .Range(.Cells(2, 1), .Cells(2, 1).End(xlDown))
End With

With objSheet
Set rngcol = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(1, 1).End(xlToRight))
End With

For j = 1 To rngcol.Count
For i = 1 To rngRow.Count
If objSheet.Cells(i + 1, j).Text = "" Then
objSheet.Cells(i + 1, j).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
objSheet.Cells(i + 1, j).Interior.Pattern = xlSolid
End If
Next
Next

objSheet.Cells(1, 3).Value = "f1"
objSheet.Cells(1, 4).Value = "f2"
objSheet.Cells(1, 5).Value = "f3"
objSheet.Cells(1, 6).Value = "f4"
objSheet.Cells(1, 8).Value = "f5"
objSheet.Cells(1, 11).Value = "f6"
objSheet.Cells(1, 13).Value = "f7"
objSheet.Cells(1, 14).Value = "f8"

objSheet.Rows("1:1").Font.Bold = True
objSheet.Columns("U:U").Delete Shift:=xlToLef
objSheet.Columns("A:T").EntireColumn.AutoFit

objSheet.Columns("J:J").NumberFormat = "[<=9999999]###-####;(###)

objBook.Close
objExcel.Quit

Set objSheet = Nothing
Set objBook = Nothing
Set objExcel = Nothing

End Sub

Hmmm.... Unfortunately, I expect that the problem is in this part of
your
code:

~ ~
~ ~
~ ~

This problem almost always is caused by using an incompletely
qualified
reference to some EXCEL object. Post all your code.

Hi folks,

I need a help to close Excel.exe in Windows Task Manager under the
tag
"Processes" from Access 2002' module.

I ran a macro Excel from Access 2002. When I ran it at the first
time,
it
works great. But, I would get an error message after the first time
run.
After I spent several hours on it, I found that the problem was
caused
by
Excel bug - Excel was closed but still running in Windows Task
Manager
under
the tag "Processes".

Here is my code segment:

Dim objExcel As Excel.Application
Dim objBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim objSheet As Excel.Worksheet
~ ~
~ ~
~ ~

objBook.Close
objExcel.Quit

Set objSheet = Nothing
Set objBook = Nothing
