MS Access Forum / General 1 / September 2004Terminate iexplore programmatically
Hello all, I have made a button in access which opens iexplore and directs it to a certain website. I have use a piece of code written by Dev Ashish. So far so good. But now I need to know how I can programmatically close iexplore again.... Does anybody have ideas? Many thanks, Ronny Several things you could do: * Rather than firing up IE, use a webbrowser control on an Access form. Very elegant, and you have lots of control over what gets displayed and what the user can do. * When starting IE, do it in such a way (perhaps: CreateProcess) you get an instance (module?) handle that you can later use to close it. Knowledge of Windows APIs helps. * You could use Windows APIs to enumerate all main windows (or, perhaps, use FindFindow), get the window handle, inspect the titles and/or other properties, and send a WM_CLOSE message to the one you want to close. I like option 1. -Tom. >Hello all, >I have made a button in access which opens iexplore and directs it to a [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Many thanks, >Ronny Hello Tom, Thank you for responding. The problem is that my skills as a programmer are elevated enough to fool around in visual basic, but I never got to learn about API's (not that I don't wan to, but time is an issue) This opening an closing of IE, however has become a very urgent matter for me. This opening an closing must be done without intervienience of the user. So what I would need is an piece of code that I could use to perform both actions ... Would you know where I could find this? Many thanks in any case !

I'm assuming you have a Open IE and a Close IE button. The first would get all this code without the WaitForSingleObject and CloseHandle lines, whereas the latter would get the CloseHandle line. Note that proc should be a form-level global variable. -Tom. >Hello Tom, >Thank you for responding.
