Another thing to keep in mind is that Office products can run "invisible". Sometimes you'll get COM failures and can't understand why and it turns out that Word or Excel or whatever is still running, just not visible. Pull up your Task Manager and look for the process and kill it.
The property in VBA is "applicationobjectname.Visible = True" (or False) I forget the exact syntax for PHP, but you get the idea. There's also a ".UserControl" T/F property that tells the application whether it's allowed to auto-close when the COM call is done or if it needs to stay open for the user to manipulate. TRUE means to stay open (even if it's not visible). -TG > -----Original Message----- > From: M.
