Re^4: Excel Win32::OLE->Uninitialize

I tried it both from DOS and the browser (works for both locally and only tried it on the customer's end from the browser and it doesn't). Yes a web server is involved (IIS) in both cases. I'm using Win32::OLE to grab the object is there a way to obtain the process ID and terminate it some other way? Thanks for reply. Rob
