Application's Class Name

[Bob]

I'm using the API "FindWindow" to find the handle of a
running application to close it down from an Access
module. The Window Caption is quite long and I'm
attempting to use the class name [MS KB 72918].

Anyone know the class name for Adobe Reader and/or Adobe
Acrobat?

See whether the code Randy Birch has at
http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/code/system/findwindowlikesimple.htm helps.

Note that Randy's site is aimed at VB programmers, so often the samples
won't work in Access without some tweaking of the Form instructions.
However, this particular one looks like it should work in Access without any
problems.

That did the trick, Doug. Thanks for the pointer.
