[AccessD] TrasnferSpreadsheet failing

Interesting ... I just had this related ghost problem due to passing an 
array
as a parameter byref into a sub for modification.

I think that because I opened a recordset in the sub that VBA created it's
own link to Access and wouldn't close even though I explicitly called for
both db.close and acc.quit and set variables to nothing.

I should've known?
