I have a database that is converting text files into a Microsoft Word 2000 File. The problem that I am having is that WINWORD.EXE is not closing. I have used the following code to close the Text files, however I still have the problem of WINWORD remaining in my Taskbar and not allowing me to Open Word.

Kill strRootPath & CStr(Format(i, "00")) & "\" & strFile

If anyone needs to see the entire Database code or find out more information please contact me.

Hope someone can help me out with this frustrating problem.

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
I think that we will need to see more of your code. Closing Word is normaly done using the variable you open it with.

Above deletes the file - this has nothing to do with the process.
That's why bat17 is asking for a glimpse of the code.

Assuming you used something like...


wdoc as the variable to open the word document...

wdoc.close <-- should close it.
