  I apologize for this. You know ... something has changed over time. There is a standard snippet for this and it wouldn't work with Outlook.

  At any rate... here it is.....

  Dim processes() As Process = Process.GetProcesses

  For Each proc As Process In processes

  If proc.Id > 4 Then

  If proc.MainModule.ModuleName = "OUTLOOK.EXE" Then proc.Kill()

  End If

  Next

  Using the code above I get:

  Value of type '1-dimensional array of System.Diagnostics.Process' cannot be converted to 'System.Diagnostics.Process'.

  I have tried

  Dim proc() As Process = Process.GetProcessesByName("outlook.exe")

  which does not have errors but I cannot write

  proc.kill

  I have tried proc().kill() but it gives error Number of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array.

  I have also tried

  Call Kill("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE")

  I get

  Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe' is denied.

  Hi ReneeC,

  That did it!

  Most grateful.

  A bit sad though, I would have never done it on my own, the proc.id >4 is a difficult one.

  Again, many thanks,

  Antonio

  Great, great, thank you very much. I tried close, terminate and other synonims in the help but not kill...

  Sorry to post again. I have not received any replies or found anything on my own, may be someone knows this time...

  I believe that

  System.MarshalByRefObject()

  might be helpful, but I could not make it work.

  Any ideas

  Thanks,

  Antonio

  Dim proc As Process = Process.GetProcessesByName("OUTLOOK.EXE")
  

  Proc.KIll
