My requirement is to open Excel files from my Delphi 6 application. I have
imported the Excel2000 type library, placed a TExcelApplication object on my
form, and used the following code to open the selected file:



procedure TfmExcel.Open(excelFilename: Olevariant);

var

LCID : Integer;

begin

LCID := LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT;

// showMessage(NewExcelApp.Name);

NewExcelApp := TExcelApplication.Create(Self);

NewExcelApp.Workbooks.Open(ExcelFilename,

EmptyParam,EmptyParam,EmptyParam,

EmptyParam,EmptyParam,EmptyParam,

EmptyParam,EmptyParam,EmptyParam,

EmptyParam, Emptyparam,Emptyparam, LCID);

NewExcelApp.Visible[LCID] := true;

end;



The first time I open an Excel file, it works fine, but if I close it, and
then try and open another one (or the same one again), it starts to open
then locks up.



Any ideas as to how I can get round this?

FYI it is better to use the components that are supplied
with D6 if you can, rather than import the library
yourself, because the D6 importer was buggy.

This happens if you didn't close Excel completely. You have
to Disconnect the component after calling Excel.Quit, or
Excel skulks around in memory waiting for a chance to bite.
