To All,

Well, I have found this reference that explains alot about what is going on. The "space" in front of the name indicates the process/program is a 16 bit program and the wowexec.exe is a support Windows process that allows the 16 bit program to run. This doesn't surprise me a great deal because I know the database has been in use for 15+ years.

Now, does anyone know of a trick on how to programmically kill a 16 bit application what has no PID reference???

Thanks,

Robert
