I recently started using the Database Query feature of Excel. Now, if I
create a new query during my Excel session, and then later quit Excel, I
notice that the "EXEL.EXE" process is still running (I see it via the task
manager). If I then try to run Excel again, the toolbar and menubar show
up, but the main window is gone.

I have learned now that I need to kill the Excel process in task manager
before trying to run Excel again. This only seems necessary, though, when I
create a new query using the "New Database Query" menu item.

Is this a known bug?

I am running Excel 2002 and Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 1.
