Close an access application

[Jose]

I'm trying to create an exe file to make updates automatically.
One condition to works well, the access database should be closed.

How can I close an access application from another application?

Thanks,
JCP

grab the running instance of Access (using GetObject) and do oApp.Quit
see
For manipulating an open instance of an application
http://www.mvps.org/access/modules/mdl0006.htm

To see if the application is running:

Hi Piet,
The code from the link detects if an application is running but doesn't say
how can I close an application.
I would like close only a specific file that is open.

For example, if there are two access files open, file1 and file2. I would
like to close just one file, for example, file2.

About the code from the link, it detects if an application is running but
doesn't detect the outlook.
Do you have any idea how can detect if the outlook is running?

Thanks

Jose
