End a process in task manager

[scottian]

ive finally managed to sort out a way of appending data to an excel spreadsheet, but wierdly this leaves Excel still running a process in the task manager. Does anyone know how to stop the process from a module in access?

The new instance of Excel is comming from

Set XL_APP = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

However, I agree that if anyone is to find the source of the oddity it has to be in the missing code.
