I have an external C++ program that write data to my Access database. I would
like to determine whether the program is running, otherwise, I would display
a message to the user.

How could I detect an external process from Access code? Any ideas?
 
Hi Charles,

You will need the WinAPI/WMI to either find the window name or the
process name.

Need any more help post back here.
