You have taught me how to start another program using
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt and suggested a good tip site and
Google search for future reference. My problem now is how to stop
that program I started. Even if I close my main program this program
remains listed in the Task Manager. I promise you I searched but
using words like end, stop, close found me lots of information but not
my specific need. Appreciate if you would help again

Have you looked at the docs for the Process class? You might try
Process.CloseMa inWindow or Process.Close.
Good luck
Chris
Something like this you are looking for ?
Private Sub KillExcel()
Dim myProcesses As Process
Dim myProcess As Process
myProcesses = Process.GetProc essesByName("EX CEL.EXE")
For Each myProcess In myProcesses
myProcess.Kill( )
Next
myProcesses = Nothing
myProcess = Nothing
End Sub

What Chris means:
Dim pi As New ProcessStartInf o("MyDialer.exe ", "123 456 1234")
Dim p As Process = Process.Start(p i)
'// I also find a System.Threadin g.Thread.Sleep( ...) is sometimes
'// needed to allow the app to receive the close messages
p.CloseMainWind ow
p.Close
Thanks,
Seth Rowe
You probably would do the suggestions above within the main form closing
handler.

Here is the code I finally settled upon inserted in the Form.Closed
sub - I will try the other ideas suggested to gain some better
understanding.
For Each oProcess2 In System.Diagnost ics.Process.Get Processes()
If oProcess2.Proce ssName.ToString = "phonepro" Then
oProcess2.Kill( )
MessageBox.Show ("Process started from code is now
killed")
Exit For
End If
Next
Application.Exi t() '

Perhaps you should first figure out why the called program does not
close cleanly ... is it supposed to terminate itself when it has
completed its operation?

I've been trying to come up with a good way to run a certain process

command and not able to be interrupted. When the time came to set the
semaphore flag to false (stopping the thread), my program would have
to wait up to the entire sleep time to break out of the loop.
