[AccessD] Closing edge browser

[Stuart McLachlan]

I doubt it since Shell.ShellExecute doesn't return a handle to the shelled application.

However, if you use the VBA Shell function instead, it returns the ProcessID of the shelled 
application, so you can subsequently close that process with TaskKill.

Example here:
