A question for you MS Word mavens: Within a Word macro/VBA code block I need to determine whether an external application is running so I can start the application if it is not already running.
Is there a way to accomplish this in Word or do I need to use a win32 API call (I'm thinking of checking for the presence of a specific mutex value)? Or might there be simpler ways to do this like having my external application lock a specific file that Word can try to write to to determine whether the other application is running? By Word I mean Word 2003 or higher. Any ideas appreciated.
