I was wondering how I might do this.
I want to write VB procedure that would check to see if a certain application was running on the computer; through API calls.
Thank You
 
Download the ProcessList utility from sysinternals.com, and run plist.exe and redirect the output to a file. Your VB program can then read the file to determine what's running.
