Programaticall Determine if Pervasive engine is Running

[griv]

Hi,

I have searched the Pervasive site and have not found a way to determine if the pervasive engine is running on a Windows 98 machine. Is there a way to query the engine to see if it is running either as a shell style command or with VB or C++?

Thanks for any help.

Daniel.

Depending on the version of the engine you're using, it might show up in the task bar (7.0 and 2000 do this). 6.15 has a task running called W32MKDE.EXE. From a program, you can issue a Version call with a valid filename. You could open a file using the API. That'll start the engine if it's not loaded.
