Word Application Instances

[Felipe Garcia]

I'm doing an web application in C# using the interop
assemblies, but all of the time, ever one instance of the
winword remains in memory. I'm sure that i'm doing the
cleanup job calling .Quit method of the object, e calling
ReleaseComObject(...), but yet, but "the one" still
remaining in memory.

What's happening ?
Thanks.

Hi Felipe,
just a guess. If Outlook is configured to use Word
as EMail-Editor and in similar scenarios,
then this is the one instance, you won't get rid of.
Hope it helps.

Hi Felipe,
how do you do that? The only way, I know, is to kill
the process using NT Task Manager. And I do that
manually, as I don't know any other way. And there is
still spelling check in outlook, which uses word as well.
