I use the following code to open an Excel spreadsheet in my Access application:
Code: 
Dim objXl As Object, objWkb As Object
Set objXl = New Excel.Application
MyExcelFile = <<path>>
Set objWkb = objXl.Workbooks.Open(MyExcelFile)
...
do things
...
Set objWkb = Nothing
objXl.Quit
Set objXl = Nothing

After leaving Access my Excel file is still locked; what am I doing wrong?

what am I doing wrong?
perhaps here ?
...do things...

Hope This Helps, PH.

Sorry for niet being explicit enough. The only "things" I am doing, is reading in values of Cells(x,y). After closing the Access application I leave an Excel process running which I have to close by hand using the Task manager.

Why not posting the WHOLE code ?

I see where you open the workbook, but don't see where you close the workbook. Please post your code.

Here is the whole code (I am basically reading a spreadsheet into an Access table, and doing some reformatting on the fly):
Code: 
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

Private Sub butImporteer_Click()

Dim MyBewaarcondities As String, MyExcelFile As String, MyLogFile As String, MyVerval As String
Dim Overslaan As Boolean

' DoCmd.Hourglass True
Close #1
MyLogFile = "S:\Afdelingen\Kwaliteit, Arbo en Milieu\CBS_Conversie\LeidenLog.txt"
Open MyLogFile For Output As #1
Set dbf = CurrentDb
Set objXl = New Excel.Application
MyExcelFile = "S:\Afdelingen\Kwaliteit, Arbo en Milieu\CBS_Conversie\Leiden.xls"
Set objWkb = objXl.Workbooks.Open(MyExcelFile)
Set rst = dbf.OpenRecordset("tbCBS_Actueel", dbOpenDynaset)
For sh = 1 To 1
  Worksheets(sh).Activate
  MyRow = 4
  Do While (Len(Cells(MyRow, 1)) > 0) And (Cells(MyRow, 1) <> "Ethanol (VOORBEELD)")
    Overslaan = False
    If Not (IsNumeric(Cells(MyRow, 3))) Then

You have LOT of unqualified excel stuff !
eg, replace this:
Worksheets(sh).Activate
with this:
objWkb.Worksheets(sh).Activate

And replace all Cells(... with objWkb.Activesheet.Cells(...

Hope This Helps, PH.
