Knowing when Word closes

[nician]

I know how to check to see if MS Word is active on a PC. Is there a way to know when it closes? Specifically, if I launch another application from VB that uses MS Word how can I capture the close or other events from MS Word so the VB program is aware of when to continue processing?

if you use a reference to the word object library then you can declare your object withevents!!

dim withevents myWordObject as word.application

then u can use the myWordObject_Quit event!

good luck!
