RE: Killing a Process

A completely untested thought that popped into my head when reading the thread... Get all PIDs for Excel instances. Start your instance of Excel. Get all PIDs for Excel instances. This way you should be able to work out which one is yours? Like I said, untested, and just a thought. R.

Killing a Process

Hi All, I don't know if I can solve this problem in perl or in VB.NET, so I'm posting this to both lists. I have a perl app that writes information to an Excel spreadsheet. I'm trapping control-c and breaks in the perl app, so if the user terminates the app, if Excel has been started, the perl ap
