Can you be more specific? Do you want to know if some other program tham
those from MS office is running? Would Firefox be such a program. More
importantly, why do you want/need to know?

You only want to check one prgram, is that it? Does this program have a
window? If so, you can simply use the FindWindow API.

Here's an example that shows how to use FindWindow

And here's a utility that will help you to find the class of the window.
It's a string which you can use in FindWindow

You could use AppACtivate

On Error Resume Next
AppActivate "CodeLibrarian"
If Err.Number = 0 Then
MsgBox "Running"
End If

The name is that which you would see in tyhe Task Manager dialog.
