Thank you.

What do you mean by "Process"

You'll need to work through additional details but I would start by making
psapi.dll function EnumProcesses available by using a Declare statement.
The remaining steps depend on exactly what you are looking for,

By "process" do you mean a Windows process? Or something else? I
think you
need to clarify exactly what you want to test for.
For a Windows process whose Process ID is known, use code similar to
the
following:

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Private Declare Function GetProcessVersion Lib "kernel32" ( _
ByVal ProcessID As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetCurrentProcessId Lib "kernel32" () As Long

Sub AAA()
Dim ProcID As Long
Dim Version As Long
Dim LastErr As Long
Dim ThisProcID As Long
ThisProcID = GetCurrentProcessId()
ProcID = 1234& ' specify process ID
' OR
ProcID = ThisProcID ' this process ID
Version = GetProcessVersion(ProcID)
LastErr = Err.LastDllError
If Version = 0 Then
If LastErr = &H57 Then
' processs does not exist
Debug.Print "Process does not exist"
Else
' process exists but access is denied
Debug.Print "Err: " & CStr(LastErr), _
GetSystemErrorMessageText(LastErr)
End If
Else
' process exists and is accessible:
Debug.Print "Process Exists. Version: " & Hex(Version)
End If
End Sub
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Windows process is what I mean and Chip, your code saves the day for me.

Thank you all, gentlemen.
