Determining if another application is running..

[goodfela26]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to determine if Internet Explorer is currently running.

I've tried the following, but it isn't working for me. I found the code below from a search on google. I don't remember which site, and I closed my IE before I bookmarked the site.

Private Declare Function GetClassName Lib "user32" Alias "GetClassNameA" (ByVal _
hwnd As Long, ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal nMaxCount As Long) As Long

' Return the class name of the specified window
' Example: MsgBox GetWindowClass(Me.hWnd)
Function GetWindowClass(ByVal hwnd As Long) As String
Dim sClass As String

sClass = Space$(256)
GetClassName hwnd, sClass, 255
GetWindowClass = Left$(sClass, InStr(sClass, vbNullChar) - 1)
End Function

Private Sub Form_Load()

MsgBox fIsAppRunning("IEFrame.Application&quot 'The class of Internet Explorer is "IEFrame".

End Sub

Any ideas??

Thanks,

Bob
