Other applications open

[dlint]

I have a need to be able to see if other Microsoft applications are open when my application is open. Does anyone know how I would check for other open applications. I have users that want to open every program they have and I need to be able to launch a procedure to nofity users to shut down other applications or close my application programatically.

Anyone know how I can do this?

If you know what programs you are looking for you could use something like this;

On Error Goto NotRunning
AppActivate "Microsoft Word"
Msgbox "Word is Running - Close it now!"
NotRunning:
On Error Goto 0

..continue with the program.
