Hi Jay, keep in mind that you should not kill a process unless you cannot close it gracefully. What is the 2nd exe you are calling? Is there a way to pass to it to tell it to close itself? (See the code I gave you for some ideas)



>Hey Hugo, I've been reading through this thread because I need a way to kill a running EXE from within another EXE. I can't quite find where the solution is, even though this message was marked as such. Is there a full code block in here somewhere that shows how you do this? Also, it assumes I know the processID, but I'm not sure how to get that. Looking that up now, but wanted to get the message posted in case you are awake and bored... <g>
