How might I close all instances of MyApp.Exe from another Exe file?

[Docpro777]

Having searched the FAQs, I've experimented with the following, but with no avail.
Any suggestions are appreciated in advance.
***************************************************
oManager = GETOBJECT("winmgmts:&quot
oApps = oManager.InstancesOf("Win32_process&quot
FOR EACH PROCESS IN oApps
IF 'MyApp.EXE' $ UPPER(PROCESS.NAME)
*!* Need something here to cause other instances of MyApp.Exe to QUIT (and hopefully cleanup, etc.)
ENDIF
NEXT
***************************************************

Thanks

Start writing code that prevents your "MyApp.exe" to start up more than once.

Maybe a typo, but

IF 'MyApp.EXE' $ UPPER(PROCESS.NAME)

should be

IF 'MYAPP.EXE' $ UPPER(PROCESS.NAME)

[ol][li] Either, as suggested, prevent your application from starting twice,.[/li]

[li] Or if you are a member, the example of "Terminating all running applications from a VFP program" would do it for you.

The title is deceiving, but you can use the function to terminate only the ones you want.[/li][/ol]
