Thanks for the info, however, the application I need to destroy doesn't have a window associated with it (at least there is no window or titlebar visible) so I don't have anything to find using the findwindow command. All I know is the name of the executible. Presently users must go into the task manager and click on endprocess - I'm trying to keep the users out of the task manager area.


>>Is there a way to end a process running on win NT using a winAPI function? Also, the process I want to end is a VFP exe running in the backgroud.
