Checking if a process is running

[LCoder]

I use the "createProcess" function (defined in the "kernel32" lib) to start a java programm from my VBA code. The java programm sometime crashes and I am looking for a function that I can use to check whether the process is still running. I have the processID and the threadID to identify the process. Any ideas?

Cheers
Lars

LCoder,

How about this...

You might be able to use this API function which includes the processID as an argument:

[blue]Public Declare Function OpenProcess Lib "kernel32" Alias "OpenProcess" (ByVal dwDesiredAccess As Long, ByVal bInheritHandle As Long, ByVal dwProcessId As Long) As Long
