Daren,

I have an API routine that I copied from somewhere in 2005 that would check 
to make sure that you were not running multiple copies of MDB's, I think it 
could be modified to look for anything, I'll send it if you want.


Bill

Hi team



I need some code to see if XYZ.exe or ABC.EXE is 'running' or not (EG
notepad.exe)

I have found some stuff in VB but am not able to get it to work.

I was just wondering if anyone has done this in Access and is able to share 
:-)
I basically want to see if an app is 'running' then simply report True or 
False
back to my access app.

I don't want to open or close this app - just see if it's 'running'

Many thanks in advance



DD
