>I am trying to write some functions in VFP 5.0 to set up an OLE session with Novell's GroupWise 5 package. The program needs to be able to log into GroupWise using a specific email id, retrieve the messages for that id and process them. I've got code set up to do this, and it all works fine except for when GroupWise is already running with a different user's mailbox, or when Notify is running (a GroupWise program that runs in the Win95 system tray to watch for new messages).

>What I would like to know first of all, is if anybody knows of an API function that will detect both of these programs? I can find GroupWise using the FindWindow function, however, this does not work for Notify which exists only in the system tray. Ideally, does anyone know of a function that would return all running programs like you get when you press CTRL+ALT+DELETE?

>Second, once the programs have been detected, I would like to present a dialog box asking the user if he/she wants the detected GroupWise program to be closed. If the answer is yes, I want Foxpro to shut down the GroupWise program, and continue processing Once again, the ideal function here would be similar to pressing the "End Task" button in the Close Programs dialog when CTRL+ALT+DELETE is pressed.

Eric,
Are you sure you want to shutdown a running Win 95 application, this way?? There are some API calls I believe that will help you find an open application.. Have you looked in the API Help file??

Thanx!
