Hi Francisco, What Rob says is correct and i totally agree with. Tell us how you "open" the file. Many times you can get the window handle of the process you started and "kill" the process by using window messages.
Why is it you need to "Kill" the window? Maybe you need to rethink your design as to what you are wanting to accomplish and it's methods?

You're not opening a file. You're starting a program (maybe). What that program does with the file is out of your control, so you cannot close it. How are you doing whatever you're doing. The answer determines what you can do to stop whatever you started earlier. -- Rob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
