Checking of an Office Application is running

[Viruland]

Is there a way to check if a Word application, Excell application or a Powerpoint application is running?

yes, try looping throught the processes

Dim objProcess As New Process
Dim objProcesses() As Process

objProcesses = Process.GetProcesses()
For Each objProcess In objProcesses
  If objProcess.processname.tolower = "word" Then
                messagebox.show("Found")
  End If
Next

You will have to check the exact processname for word.
