Sorry about that, Selim, we got side-tracked. The cleanest way to kill a process, I believe, is to send it a WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_CLOSE message, either via PostMessage or SendMessage API function. This requires that you have an HWND to the task's main window. Another flavor of message that usually works is WM_CLOSE. If you have a COM object reference, there may be a Quit method, or something similar. If you've only got a processid or process handle, you can generally use it to find the HWND. Terminating a process directly via TerminateProcess is usually the last resort, as it may leave things in an unclean state. See http://www.news2news.com/vfp/index.php for lots of helpful info about using Windows API functions from VFP, including examples.
