Yes,
The instances that are created when done are set to visible to the user and then all programing interfaces are closed and or set to nothing as needed. The user edits the document, saves then closes word. HOWEVER sometimes (not every time) some times the word process will remain open after the user tells word to close. As i mentioned the MSACCess.exe process sometimes remains running after they close our database too. I don't believe there is a programing issue that is causing this as i have seen similar problems on machines not running our system.... I would be happy to look through possible causes, however at the moment i need to treat the symptom and see if i can locate these eroneous instances and close them.

Then i can look into possible causes further, i am not beoynd thinking my code may be causing it. However I do think that it may be a problem inside office itself....
