for 50 points try this code:
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As Long) As Long
Private Sub Command1_Click()
If FindWindow("OMain", 0) Then
MsgBox "Access is running"
Else
MsgBox "Access is not running"
End If
End Sub

Hi !
Thanks for you answer, I'd actually tried out above code on my machine(win95) as well as nt workstation 4.0.
It doesn't work. The findwindow API always return me "0".
I'd tried out on MSVC++ as well and its works to detect MSAccess.

Try compile this working MSVC++ functions as another DLL and it should work. I'd experienced this before !! ^_^
