Checking for programs running external to VFP

[mdav2]

Is it possible to check what other programs are running outside VFP. I need to check if Lotus Notes is running.

I can just launch the program everytime but it would be better if I could check for it running.

Take a look at FAQ184-145 - the initial code checks whether a certain Windows application is running.

Hi mdav,

Based on thread184-63119, I presume you are automating Lotus. If so, read up on the GetObject() function. Jon Hawkins

I have found that we have a class pre-written to do this that I have incorporated into my system.

Thanks to all the responses.
