Wondering if theres a way to do this in VB6.

[xxvenom]

Well..

I was wondering if there is a way to determine if a program is running..and if it is open a different program (which happens to be a macro to open the program that should be running ), and if it's not..do nothing.

I'm not good at VB at all..I webdesign and don't know much about Computer programming :p

Anyways..all help is appreciated.

This code should help you get a list of all the running processes (aka programs) on the computer. http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=234340

Then once you get a list of them, you can determine if the program you are looking for is running or not and act accordingly.

If the process you are trying to detect is yours, you could do this:

HANDLE hMutex = CreateMutex(NULL, TRUE, "My Mutex");
switch ( GetLastError() )
{
case: ERROR_SUCCESS
break;
default:
{
DoSomethingElse();
break;
}

}
