Closing Workbooks

[IngridBardales]

Hey team, thanking you guys in advance for your help!  I want to extract a cell value from an excel workbook without having to open it, so I am using the "Open Workbook" action in the excel vbo.  That does the trick but then my question is, do I have to use the "Close Workbook" action? Thank you!

If you use 'Open Workbook', it is opening the workbook. It's just invisible. The way I pretty much always do it is in this order: Create Instance Open Workbook Get Collection Close Instance You do not need to specifically close the workbook since Close Instance will take care of that for you.
