Taskmgr from VBA
I can activate taskmgr from a macro by
SHELL("c:\windows\system32\taskmgr.exe") How can I access the displayed process information, i.e. process name and PID, or get taskmgr to copy this information to a text file? -- Gary's Student |

Perhaps someone will prove me wrong, but I think you would need some
sophisticated API trickery to do this. -- Vasant "Gary's Student" wrote in message ...

If you're really ambitious, you can try and adapt this for your needs (I
tested it and it works but you may have to tweak it to get all the information you want): How to list running processes http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;187913 -- Vasant "Vasant Nanavati" <vasantn *AT* aol *DOT* com wrote in message ...

Taskmgr from VBA
Thanks for your help Vasant. I'll give your reference a try. If I can get
to a working API, then this will give me all that I need.

Taskmgr from VBA
You need Edanmo's task scheduler.
Have a look at this website: http://www.mvps.org/emorcillo/en/code/vb6/index.shtml Go to: Using the Task Scheduler This is a VB dll file that makes all the properties and methods of the task scheduler available in VBA. I am using this and it works very well. RBS "Gary's Student" wrote in message ...
