but It didn't work. Maybe my code is not correct.

Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("C:\temp.exe" - Kill)

Please tell me what was wrong. thanks

Hello,

Give it as Shell("C:\Temp.exe -kill")

Thanks

This is easy and will work if it is a typical Windows app that you are trying to close.


retval = Shell("notepad.exe", 1)
SendKeys "%{F4}"

thanks.

It still didn't work. Instead of closing the .exe file, it opened another one.

my os: windows 98
version: vb 6

I don't know why.

Hello,

Try writing the path of the string along with the kill option into a string and then pass it to shell

dim strPath as string

strPath="C:\temp.exe" + " -kill"
result=shell(strpath)





Thanks
