Closing Programs (Resolved)

[bob.11]

I have created some code (with sum help from a few guys on here), to open a specific program, and load a saved file for it. What i now need is some coding to close the program i open after it finishes.
It runs this program constantly, every 30 seconds, and each time it opens it seperately, as opposed to just re-running the specified file. This is the code im using:

Shell "C:\Program Files\Ghost Mouse\Gmouse.exe c:\documents and settings\ben\desktop\cargo to can.gms"

Can any one provide me with some code to close this specific file after it has been created?

Thanks in advance

*I looked through the forums for anyone else having this problem, and some bright spark replied to a similar post with:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
End
End Sub

Im not sure if he was having a joke, () but it wasnt perticularly helpful as all it does is close the VB App.. not the specified file.

The question I have is.. how will you determine when the program is finished its work to determine whether or not to close it?

[bob.11]

Because i know exactly how long it runs for...

All i need is an answer.. not a smart alec remark

Not a smart alec remark, I asked because there is an API call that will launch a program and wait for it to exit. Once it exits it returns execution to your program.

One of the ShellExecute functions I think it is.

Sorry... I didnt mean to be rude. I have heard of that, but I went for the simple approach.. lol
All I need is a line of code to kill a certain application. But it seems its not that simple, as if anything is anymore.
