Excel is crashing during save

[tmahender12]

i have wrote below code to close and quit after updating some rows, but while running tests its failing and crashing.

objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Save
objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Close
'Quit Excel
objExcel.Application.Quit

I'm not 100% certain the "Application.Quit" is necessary. Have you tried running without it?

I think you need to quit the application as otherwise it leaves an instance of the process floating around after the run has completed? (If running it VIA COM - which I assume this is)

I save workbook, close workbook and quit excel when complete. Never crashes for me. Using TC 11.20, Win 7 Pro. Office 2010.

Only difference I can see is that I have: objExcel.Quit

Whereas you have: objExcel.Application.Quit

Try removing ".Application"?

The other possibility is that you don't have the right permissions to save the file. This could be the case if you're trying to save it somewhere "sensitive" on the C: drive or something?
