Hello,
I have created an openoffice ole object from my application using Delphi.
That is shown below:-

OpenOffice : Variant;

OpenOffice := CreateOleObject('com.sun.star.ServiceManager');

It is getting created successfully.But when i try to free it,it still remains in task manager.
I tried the following commands to free openoffice but with no success:

varclear(openoffice);
FreeAndNil(openoffice);
openoffice := Unassigned;

Is there any other solution for this?

Thank you in advance.

I'm not sure how this stuff works in Delphi, but you might try something like OpenOffice.dispose, or however one executes a method. I also assume the variable names are case sensitive, and your example is inconsistent in that regard.

Hi,
Get from my personal web site : Delphi 7 OOo tool
The zip file contains units with helper routines, examples, and a HowTo document. Read it.

You should have posted your question in section : Macros and UNO API > External Programs

Maybe the code that deallocates the memory used by the OO process doesn't also inform Windows that OO has been closed?
See for instance http://docs.embarcadero.com/products/ra ... bject.html , specifically
