Python and Excel

[Hans Kristian Ruud]

Hello.

I have written a small Python application, which starts Excel by these
means:

xlApp   =  win32com.client.Dispatch('Excel.Application')
xlBook  =  xlApp.Workbooks.Open(filename)
xlApp.Workbooks.Open(filename)

(as described in "Python programming on Win32" by Hammond and Robinson).



When the application is finished, it tries to shut Excel down by calling
xlBook.Close():

xlBook.Close(SaveChanges=0)
del xlApp


My problem is that when exiting the program (and shutting down Excel as
descrined),
an Error Dialog pops up, bearing the title

OleMainThreadWndName: Excel.exe - Application error

and containing this message:

The instruction at "0x300341b6" referenced memory at "0x650eeed8".
The memory could not be "read".

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance from your humble servant
