excel.exe process doesn't quit

I have an access 2003 DB and a module that runs excel via automation, it
works fine. Except that the excel.exe process doesn't end after the
xlapp.application.quit. I have to manually go into task manager and kill it.
Am I missing something?

Sure, it's my first try at this, but I got some good examples from this
group. Here it is:

Dim appsheet As Object

Dim mindate, maxdata As Date

Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'
' clear archive directory

'

Let tn = Mid(f1.Name, 4, 3) & Mid(f1.Name, 8, 4)

".xls"
'

If firsttime = True Then
DoCmd.CopyObject , "work_table", acTable, "table_template"
Let firsttime = False
End If
'
' load the work table from the csv file

End Function
