Close another application

Hello all,

Running on Windows XP Pro.

I'm using the Send Message["aevt", "odoc"] command to open another application -- QuickBooks in this case. If QuickBooks is already open, an error message results, though everything works ok.

So, is there a way to close another application from FM? Alternatively, is there a way to determine if it is already running so that I can skip the Send Message step? I was thinking that I could use Send Message to run a DOS batch program that would kill QuickBooks, or maybe compile something from VB.

Any thoughts or prior experience out there?

Thanks,

Dan

hmmm,

using a vbs batch could you get the application handle name and the either send it keystrokes or a close command that way?
