I'm trying to kill certain processes through VBA. I have a proprietary object that connects to a market data bus. Through RTD I call this object to pub/sub to the bus. However sometimes the connection drops and I need to kill the process via task manager. Is there a way to kill a process through VBA?
Thanks
Try with this code
Dim oServ As Object
Dim cProc As Variant
Dim oProc As Object
Set oServ = GetObject("winmgmts:")
Set cProc = oServ.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process")
For Each oProc In cProc
'Rename EXCEL.EXE in the line below with the process that you need to Terminate.
'NOTE: It is 'case sensitive
If oProc.Name = "EXCEL.EXE" Then
MsgBox "KILL" ' used to display a message for testing pur
oProc.Terminate()
End If
Next
