Close Non-Microsoft Application From Excel
Windows 2000 / Excel 2000
I am using 'Shell' to start a (non microsoft) application prior to executing my macros. Dim MyAppID MyAppID = Shell("C:\FolderName\FileName.exe", 1) Once the macro has executed, I would like to close the application as a house-keeping measure. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, - - TB - - |
