Journal File Troubles

Journal File Troubles

Journal File Troubles

(OP)
Hello,
   I have a macro that is causing a problem for me.  It is a printing and saveas macro.  After running it, I usually exit SolidWorks.  The next time I open SolidWorks I get the warning:  "A journal file could not be created. Auto recover will not work. Another session of SolidWorks may already be running on this machine."   When I look to
see what processes are running on my machine, SolidWorks does not show up.

     Is there something I should be doing in my macro to release some SolidWorks items that stay open?  I've written a lot of macros and never had this problem.  Any help would be appreciated.

I'm running SolidWorks 2009 SP4.1, Windows Vista Business SP 2.0

Thanks.
