    Excel code to close an already openend access database

    My goal is to close an already opened access database when Excel Opens. Before anyone asks why I am doing this, its because my excel file has a connection tied to this specific db that is opened.
    The connection data that my excel file contains does not refresh if the db that is trying to connect is openend. Please help I am not too good with vba.

    This one seemed to work but this actually opens the database (a copy) and then closes the copy, not the already opened db:

    Dim accessApp As Object
    Set accessApp = GetObject("c:path", "Access.Application")
    accessApp.docmd.Quit
    Set accessApp = Nothing
    This one does not work and it gives me an error Object required:

     Dim accessApp As Object
     Dim s As String
     s = "c:path"
     Set accessApp = GetObject(s)
     accessApp = docmd.Quit

    you can easily find a solution via googling...

    Sub vbax_54070_Close_Access_DataBase_Quit_Access()
    
        Dim objAccess As Object
        
        On Error Resume Next
    
        Set objAccess = GetObject(, "Access.Application")
    
        If Err.Number = 0 Then
            objAccess.CloseCurrentDatabase 'to close open database
            objAccess.Quit 'to close access application. you dont need previous line if you use this
        Else
            Err.Clear
        End If
    
    End Sub
