Kill a process - Could someone check this code for me

[ina]

Hello All,

I have a code that close a process. Could someone check this out for
me.


Declare Function GetExitCodeProcess Lib "kernel32" _
(ByVal hProcess As Long, _
lpExitCode As Long) As Long



Sub ExitPLaunch()
Dim TaskID As Long
Dim hProc As Long
Dim lExitCode As Long
Dim ACCESS_TYPE
Dim STILL_ACTIVE


ACCESS_TYPE = &H400
STILL_ACTIVE = &H103


' Shell the task
TaskID = Shell("C:\program files\PLaunch\PLaunch.EXE, 1)


On Error Resume Next


' Get the process handle
hProc = OpenProcess(ACCESS_TYPE, False, TaskID)

On Error GoTo 0
Application.StatusBar = "Waiting for Packhedge application to
finish"
Do
GetExitCodeProcess hProc, lExitCode
DoEvents
Loop While lExitCode = STILL_ACTIVE


' Ouffa is Finshed
End Sub

This code doesn't kill a process. It shells to the EXE and waits for it to
terminate, or be terminated externally, and then the macro continues.
