How could I Terminate a dos (or any for that matter) application using vb?
 
this is done with API calls
It easier if you launch the Application from your program first.

Look at “Shell” and “ShellExecute”

Also look at the “Sendkeys” example which does this very well

The Shell Function in Access and the ShellExecute API show how to start an application but do not show how to terminate the application. Am I missing something? I'd rather not use the SendKeys Statement if I don't have to.
