Hi All, I have a perl/cgi script that utilizes Win32::OLE to create Excel charts. Running the module locally and from DOS the Quit method for the Excel.Application object closed down the Excel.exes from Task Manager fine. Running locally and from the browser the Excel.exes hung around in the Task Manager. After using the Win32::OLE->Uninitialize method it closed them down fine. On a customer site the attempt to using GetActiveObject failed (passing Excel.Application as the argument). After finding out about setting permissions appropriately on the DCOM service it retrieved Excel fine. However, although the Excels start fine they do not close using the Quit method or the Uninitialize method. Is there something else I can try? Thanks for any help in advance. Rob
