    Closing Word application using excel vba

    Hi everyone,

    New to coding you I appreciate the help.

    I need help closing the Word app after its finished. Everything in the code runs fine except when it comes to closing the word application. After running the code the edited document is saved and closed but the word application is still left open and i receive an error message, this causes a problem as I need to run this code numerous times. can someone help with this?

    I've highlighted the problem area in red.

    Error message:


    Run-time error'-2147417848(80010108'):


    Automation error
    The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.

    There should be just one error line.

    Maybe try:
    If boolCloseAfterExec Then
            dim o as object
            set o = oDoc.Parent
            oDoc.Close
            o.Quit
            Set oDoc = Nothing
            Set o = Nothing
    End If
