Syntax

AppClose [name$]

Description

Closes the named application.

Comments

The name$ parameter is a String containing the name of the application. If the name$ parameter is absent, then the AppClose statement closes the active application.

Example

This example activates Excel, then closes it.

Sub Main()

  If AppFind$("Microsoft Excel") = "" Then 'Make sure Excel is there.

    MsgBox "Excel is not running."

    Exit Sub

  End If

  AppActivate "Microsoft Excel"       'Activate it (unnecessary).

  AppClose "Microsoft Excel"         'Close it.

End Sub

Notes

A runtime error results if the application being closed is not enabled, as is the case if that application is currently displaying a modal dialog box.

The name$ parameter is the exact string appearing in the title bar of the named application's main window. If no application is found whose title exactly matches name$, then a second search is performed for applications whose title string begins with name$. If more than one application is found that matches name$, then the first application encountered is used.
