Excel Automation: How to Status Excel? (Is it Open?, Closed?)

I have an automation program that automates 2 different 3rd party
programs: 1) Windows Neural Network S/F, and 2) Excel.

Windows is easy. I just manage window handles. If the handle exists,
the window exists; if the handle does not exist, the window does not
exist.

For Excel, I thought I would watch the EXCEL.EXE process, however,
this is not useful because this Process may or may not exist when the
application is Quit, Unassigned, and FreeAndNil'd.

I could simply watch the EXCEL window handle.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Tom
