Kill a system process from Visual Basic 6

Hello!
I have this code from another question and it works properly when I try to execute a program or process but I wanna know how to kill it, or kill some process if I knew the name of the .exe.

MODULE1-----------------------------------------------------------
Option Explicit

Declare Function OpenProcess Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwAccess As Long, ByVal fInherit As Integer, ByVal hObject As Long) As Long
Declare Function TerminateProcess Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hProcess As Long, ByVal uExitCode As Long) As Long

Declare Function GetTickCount Lib "kernel32" () As Long

Declare Sub ExitProcess Lib "kernel32" (ByVal uExitCode As Long)


-------------------------------------------------------------------
FORM1--------------------------------------------------------------

Option Explicit
Dim pID&
Dim pHandle&


Public Sub APISleep(interval&)
  sT = GetTickCount
   Do
     DoEvents
     pT = GetTickCount
       If pT - sT > interval Then
           Exit Do
        End If
   Loop
End Sub


Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim tmp&
pID = Shell("calc.exe", 1)
pHandle = OpenProcess(&H100000, True, pID)
APISleep 5000
tmp = TerminateProcess(pHandle, 0)
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
ExitProcess pHandle
End Sub


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The function ExitProcess ends my form1 and VisualBasic and TerminateProcess it doesnt work...

Someone can help me?
