Comment: Can anyone help me construct a VBA code in Excel that would check if an external application (not Microsoft) is open or not? If it is open, can the code close it. I'm new in VBA programming and I'm construction an executive dashboard that gets data from external source. Any help is appreciated.... losorio64

Reply: (edit)You can use the Win32 APIs
EnumerateWindows
GetWindow
and
SendMessage (to close it) Hope this helps,
