Is it possible to close called mdb from calling mdb?
I have one launch center calling another mdb and would like to close
called mdb from calling mdb when user closes the calling mdb.


Your informaiton is great appreciated,
 
It depends on how you call it in the first place. If you use FollowHyperlink
then things get very complicated, but if you used something like:

dim accapp as access.application
set accapp = new access.application
accapp.opencurrentdatabase("c:\YourDbName.mdb")
....

Then you could do accapp.Quit

How do you launch it in the first place?

I use Shell(MS Access mydb.mdb)


Thanks again,
 
Personally, I'd convert your code per my original e-mail as it would provide
you with the ability to manipulate to opened access instance.

Otherwise, you have to identify the application instance and close it down.
You'd have to start using code such as:

Is it possible to identify mdb opened by Windows Handle ID?
If yes, are there any API to do so?

Your information is great appreciated,
