Hi,
I need to find how can I know that a program I am going to shell it is
already open.
This program uses an csv file that I need to refresh before shelling
the program, however if the csv file is already in use because the
program is open I cannot refresh it (kill it and rewrite it) and I do
not get any error message.
Right now I have a message the prompts the user to close the robot
software before opening it through the database. Is there a better
method?
I appreciate your help.

You could use the Windows API to see if the program is open.
This should get you started on checking to see if the program is open. The code here
checks to see if a copy of your database is already open, but you should be able to modify
it. http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0041.htm
You could also try to open the file with a lock and see if you get an error message back.
This will only work if the other program locks the file when opening it.

Wayne,
Thank you for yor reply.
I looked into another api call, that checks if an application is
running, which is all I need to do. However, for this to work I need
the class name of the application. How can I determine the class name
of an application?
The API call I a trying to use is: http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0007.htm
Thank you.

You may have to check with the maker of the application.

using for this? Thank you. P

Hi,
I have a program that needs to open a list of attachments
displayed on a ListView. I have used Process.Start method to open the
files using their associated program. This works correctly if the file
extention is associated with a process(program/application) already,
but throws an exception when there is no associated process. I would
like to display an "Open With.." dialog box where the user can choose
a program to open the file.

I'm new to C and would appreciate any feedback on the following
