Search for hidden process

Post by Tourless » Sat May 03, 2025 12:49 pm

Hi Folks.

I'm running an excel file and it's a hidden process. Now I've searched about in the forums here but can't find anything related to searching for a hidden process and if it's not running, do something. if it is running check again in a few hours (simple recurring schedule). Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I think ProcessExists would be your starting point.
