Terminating a DOS Window Programmatically Chaplain Doug 10.08.2006 14:25:02 Access 2003. As part of a module I use the Shell command to run Kermit (and old asynchronous communication/file transfer program). This Shell command brings up a "DOS" window in which Kermit runs. How can I programmatically terminate (close) this DOS window from VBA. I know when I am ready to terminate the window as I monitor the files Kermit is creating. I just need to be able to get rid of this window when it is done. Thanks for the help. God bless. -- Dr. Doug Pruiett Good News Jail & Prison Ministry www.goodnewsjail.org
