David,

You could you the FreeFile function to get the file
number, then use the Close Statement.

My earlier attempt at this question needed clarifying:
Help with the following will be much appreciated:
Sub RunIntro()
Dim SCamShow
SCamShow = Shell("C:\ScreenCams\Intro.exe", 1)
End Sub
This sub runs fine, however, ...
Intro.exe is a Lotus ScrenCam stand alone movie. The
movie
file contains the 'Lotus ScreenCam Player' application.
When the movie runs and finishes, the 'Player'
application
is left open and remains visible in the form of a 'run
movie' control above excel.
How do I close the 'Player' application within the VBA
code?
