That was my original attempt. No luck with that either. This sucker has nine lives. Thanks for your response.

I should have added a few more details. Windows still believes the object is in use, in this case it's a dll. Nothing else can be done with the dll until Python is completely shut down. None of the other dll com objects I have used in the past have had this problem. Excel behaves that way also. One must explicitly tell Excel to quit, as in excelObj.quit(). Does your dll have an equivalent? Or take a look at psTools for ways to kill processes. -- Bob Gailer Chapel Hill NC 919-636-4239 ________________________________ _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org<mailto:python-win32@python.org> http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 DISCLAIMER: This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
