I might understand this statement:
"When I close Access with an embedded macro or code, it always remains open in the background, an MSACCESS. EXE application.
But I definitely do not understand:
"- Also for an embedded macro is not closed..
- "DoCmd.Quit acExit" code is not closed.
- "Application.Quit acQuitSaveNone" code is not closed.
- - - - - - - -
what is meant by 'code is not closed'....?? the .exe app is there I assume from your first statement, and so are you reopening that?? to look at code??
also - can there be some code that is automating activity of another app? are you the author and know all the code in the app being discussed?
