Kill a Process

So..ok, I started a program with the shell command which returns the process ID number. How do you close the process using that ID number?

TIA

I do wonder from the two examples if they are Windoze version specific or subject to change, but I'm guessing the process ID number returned is of no use to VBA then?

I think what you found is great starting point however --- thanks @Keebellah

It seems odd Excel VBA returns a process ID from the shell command and it isn't used (by VBA). However, I've never considered Excel (or anything else under the micro$oft name) to be a finished product...

Well, like I said, your previous solution looked entirely workable

You're using one application to do something entirely different that what it's intended for.

This is arguable, but also an "in the eye of the beholder" thing. At face value, lets just say that if you can show me a native VBA command using the returned value of the shell command (other than non-zero which could have been implemented by micro$oft as a Boolean return value), and I'll concede I've made my previous "assertion" under false premise?

Thanks again,
Grug
