>hi all
>i'm writing an app that automates various other apps such as word, excel and outlook. i also have an app named stata (it's a stats package) that i'd like to automate but there is no exposed interface that i can use.
>therefore, i'd simply like to be able to open it from vfp (using run /n7), let it auto-run some macros, and then close it. my question is how to close it when i'm ready?
