Question

I don’t see why this doesn’t work.

I have gone into the registry and removed the registry key below and still no joy. The error arises at the For Each Loop. If anyone could help it would be appreciated.
I am using .net framework 1.1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PerfProc\Performance\Disable performance counters

If System.IO.File.Exists(path) Then
    System.IO.File.Delete(path)
    ExcelApp.DisplayAlerts = False
    ExcelApp.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs(path)
    ExcelApp.DisplayAlerts = True

    ExcelApp.Quit()
    MessageBox.Show("File Exported to: " & path)

    Dim proc As System.Diagnostics.Process
    For Each proc In System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("EXCEL")
        'Debug.Print(Now() & " - Killing process ID " & proc.Id)
        proc.Kill()
    Next



Else
    'saves the file
    ExcelApp.DisplayAlerts = False
    ExcelApp.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs(path)
    ExcelApp.DisplayAlerts = True
    ExcelApp.Quit()

    Dim proc As System.Diagnostics.Process
    For Each proc In System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("EXCEL")
        'Debug.Print(Now() & " - Killing process ID " & proc.Id)
        proc.Kill()

I think this might be a permission issue.
