Cleaning up "Excel Objects" is directly related to braining yourself with a claw hammer.

At first I really did blame myself, I figured no way could something "so simple" be "so difficult" being the nit that I am, I hit my favorite site Stack Overflow for some relief from the Gods of development. To my surprise after seeing this thread : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/158706/how-to-properly-clean-up-excel-interop-objects-in-c I am not sure there is an "elegant" way to do it at all. God Bless Microsoft!!
