[AccessD] Excel Automation Question

[Paul Hartland]

Rocky

Just off hand there is some code that checks if an application is open, I
haven't got this to hand but sure a google search will find some, when the
user returns to the access app could you not run the function to check if
an instance of Excel is open and if so then close it from Access, obviously
a problem with this is if the user returns to the Access app and still
wants the Excel sheet open, but just a thought.
