Ed, this isn't working... I am running Excel 2000 (and I used the ResKit tool PULIST to find out the PID is 378). From the command window I did:

Declare Short TerminateProcess in Win32API as KillProc ;
Integer hProcess , Integer uExitCode
nResult = KillProc(378,0)

and nResult returns "0" and Excel is not killed.

How can I get the PID from inside VFP and how do I integrate PostMessage() since I just want to blast-kill Excel?

Thanks.


>It's preferable to use PostMessage() or SendMessageTimeout() rather than SendMessage(), since PostMessage() returns immediately, and SendMessageTimeout
