[AccessD] copying worksheets

you need to set xlSheet to nothing as well. I have found that all variable
objects (excel related or not) need to be set to nothing or more often than
not excel will stay in memory.

ok.. here is it.  what this does is it creates a brand new excel workbook,
write something to sheet2 and then make copy of sheet2.

what i have noticed is that when copy sheet2 code is there, the xlApp object
is indestructible! (ie. cannot be destroyed; like superman).  you can still
see that excel.exe still exists in windows task manager after execution.
xlapp survived the set xlApp=nothing onslaught.

however, if you comment out the copy sheet2 code, xlApp can be destroyed.
the kryponite.

Public Function fCopyYoWorksheet()

Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet

Debug.Print "starting..."
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add
Set xlSheet = xlBook.Worksheets("Sheet2")
xlSheet.Range("B2").Value = "Yo! numbers"
xlSheet.Copy after:=Worksheets("Sheet1")
xlBook.Close ' it will prompt you to save
Set xlBook = Nothing
xlApp.Quit
Set xlApp = Nothing

Debug.Print "finished!"

End Function
