:whip I need to know if and what other programs are running in the background for 1 of my excel.macros.
If possible can excel list the name of progs running on a sheet.
If this is possible can I then use this list to shut off 1 of these progs.
All of this needs to be done with VBA in between other running progs.
Thank any one and every one that can possibly Help me with this.

Thanks again
Gene

You can get a hold on a window based upon the title. But you'll have to use api's to get a handle and to control them.
What programs do you need to know that are running ?

I don't know anything about that macro express thing. Seems like a usefull tool but better tell us what you would like to do with excel. Maybe we can do it by using only excel (and some vba).
