[amibroker] Re: Broker.exe not going away after I exit the code

["rutle1" <rutle1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tomasz,

I'm using Visual Basic .NET. The Set statement is not used anymore for
objects.

Anyways, I want to clear up something. Without running Amibroker at
all, why doesn't the Broker.exe process go away after I run my program
creating the "Broker.Application" object?

Also I notice that after running the Export.js script in the Amibroker
folders (Without running Amibroker at all), the Broker.exe process is
still seen in the Task Manager. Note: I make sure there is no
Broker.exe process running before I run the Export.js script.

I'm asking all this because I am writing a program to import quotes
into the presently opened database. If I run a program or script
without running Amibroker, and the Broker.exe sticks around, then I
open Amibroker, and pick another database, then run my program to
import quotes, the quotes are being imported into the database of the
first Broker.exe process that did not close instead of the database
that is now open with Amibroker.

I hope that you understand what I'm trying to say.

Luciano
