Although this is for C#/.net, the idea is the same. If you're passing your COM Obj around between functions, or using global vars, microsoft essentially keeps a counter of the times you called it. Hence, when you call ".Quit()" it kills the COM Obj, but NOT the program itself.
To resolve, Here's what I did:
Code: Select all
global ppt := "" ;First, set your ComObj to null, this will reset microsoft's stupid counter.
ppt := ComObjActive("PowerPoint.Application") ;reconnect to your COM obj
ppt.Quit() ;It dies.
