Testing for active applications

(OP)
Can anyone tell me how to test if an application such as Outlook is open

thanks in advance

RE: Testing for active applications

Use GetObject, which will return an error if your program is not running. Test for the error.


On Error Resume Next
Set myapp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
' Outlook not running
Else
' Outlook is running already
End If
Err.Clear
On Error GoTo 0

Good Luck
