Instance of word application stay alive after program termination

[kauf]

Hi,
One problem with MSWord 2003 automation.
Instance of word application stay alive after program termination.

I wrote simple test application (VB6):

---------------------------------------
Dim oWordApp As Word.Application
With oWordApp
Dim oWordDoc As Word.Document
Set oWordDoc = .Documents.Add
End With

With oWordDoc
.Content.Text = "Hello, World!"
.SaveAs "Hello"
.Close
End With

Set oWordDoc = Nothing
oWordApp.Quit
Set oWordApp = Nothing
---------------------------------------

Step to reproduce:
Open new word application manualy.
Execute code above.
Open task manager --> two instances of WINWORD are there.

I try to reproduce with behaviour on diferent PC with same OS an
MSWord version
It reproduced on 50% of PC
I just can't explain this..

Hi Kauf,

One problem with MSWord 2003 automation.
Instance of word application stay alive after program termination.

I wrote simple test application (VB6):

You don't show us how you're SETting the oWordApp object variable,
which makes it difficult to troubleshoot.

Also, is Outlook perhaps running when this happens, with Word set as
the Email editor?

---------------------------------------
Dim oWordApp As Word.Application
With oWordApp
Dim oWordDoc As Word.Document
Set oWordDoc = .Documents.Add
End With

With oWordDoc
.Content.Text = "Hello, World!"
.SaveAs "Hello"
.Close
End With

Set oWordDoc = Nothing
oWordApp.Quit
Set oWordApp = Nothing
---------------------------------------

Step to reproduce:
Open new word application manualy.
Execute code above.
Open task manager --> two instances of WINWORD are there.
