    Open an EXE, tiny new problem, closing the EXE

    Neither of the above two suggestions seem to work. Althought this is a data base, I do not query or change any data through this Call. I only ask for the supplier of the data to download new data and they update the database. Then, the EXE closes the internet access. But I do need to close...

    OLE,open a .EXE and send alt_D, then close it

    I can link or create obj of the xxx.exe. I need to send a series of alt_char's to control the exe. Then when it finishes it often leaves a pop-up in focus that needs to be closed before I can close the original exe. How do I do all this? Thanks
