So are you asking about VB or VBScript, they aren't really the same thing.

You can do this with VB by looping through the window handles and sending a close message to them all.

I have no idea if you can do that with vbscript, I really doubt it though.

hedge,

thanks for the feedback, and yes it is vb i am asking about. i tried looping through a close windows statement but it just delays my application too much. thanks for the feedback though, cheers,
