Hi Bill I have copied it all and I can see some cool things there but am unsure how to pass the desired exe path and get a result on that. My coding is very limited - most of that stuff is way over my head :-) Many thanks Darren -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Bill Patten Sent: Friday, 09 January 2009 11:26 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] A2003:See if an EXE Is running Hi Darren, It's on its way, if anyone else wants it I can post it here. By the way, it probably works, I didn't write it....

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 -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
