QUOTE(LV Punk @ May 1 2007, 02:58 PM) Thanks for the quick reply, however this does not address my problem. I need a way to close a LabVIEW Exe file that has been terminated brutally by some error that I can't register or handle. Assume that the Exe file stopped running and that the GUI is still open (But isn't running). Nadav

Hi all. I have an application created in LabVIEW, and I built an executable file from it (Let's call it App1.exe). While App1 is running it sometimes generates an exception and is aborted. The problem is that the Run-Time APP1.exe GUI remains open (Which is undesirable). I need a way to close it somehow. I realized that the only way to close it is from another application (Let's call it App2).This solution can be realized in 2 different ways: 1) App2 communicates with App1 and closes it if App1 is not alive. The problem is that sometimes App1 is simply working slowly because of system problems and I might shut it down even though It's still running 2) To somehow obtain from the Run-Time engine what's the state of App1. I think that this way is preferable but i don't know how to communicate with the Run Time Engine. I'll appreciate any suggestions (Preferably with some kind of example code). Thanks, Nadav P.S. I'm using LabVIEW 8.2.1. I have a cross-post in NI LabVIEW Forum: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?boar...ssage.id=244881
