I can't get Automise 3 to quit Excel 2007 gracefully. Send Key Alt-F4 freezes Excel. I've tried every possible mouse-clicking option to quit Excel to no avail. I'm running Win7 64-bit and the latest version of Automise 3.

Hi Steve,

&nbsp;

I'm not sure why Excel is crashing, using the 'Close Process' action seems to work fine though, I've attached an example project.

Regards,

Paul.
