Here's a snippit of code I have been using with great success recently.
I wish I remembered where it came from but it is the best way to
terminate a Windows application that I've found.
I use it to close the application if it is left running by the end user.
It simply tests to see if the # of seconds since midnight is greater
than a predefined # of seconds. For your need, I don't think you'd need
the time check.
Hope this helps!
LOCAL loLocator, loWMI, loProcesses, loProcess, llIsRunning
loLocator = CREATEOBJECT('WBEMScripting.SWBEMLocator')
loWMI = loLocator.ConnectServer()
loWMI.Security_.ImpersonationLevel = 3
loProcesses = loWMI.ExecQuery([SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE
Name = 'MyApplicationName.exe'])
FOR EACH loProcess in loProcesses
loProcess.Terminate(0)
ENDFOR

I've been using the following technique to open an instance of Excel
for years:
If Upper(Vartype(Thisform.oExcel)) = "O"
Thisform.oExcel.Quit
Thisform.oExcel = null
Else
Thisform.AddProperty('oExcel')
Endif
If Upper(Vartype(Thisform.oExcel)) <> "O"
Thisform.oExcel=Createobject("Excel.Application")
Else
Thisform.oExcel=Getobject(,"Excel.Application")
Endif
The above is taken from the Hacker's Guide
However, sometimes Excel throws an error.
Therefore in my form class error method I put this construct:
If nError = 1426 && Excel error
If Vartype(thisform.oExcel ) = "O"
thisform.oExcel.quit
Thisform.oExcel = null
endif
endif
Yet, it does not kill the Excel instance. I mean, the Excel instance
is still open. It just does not go away. The only way to kill it is to
open the task manager and kill it manually
I follow the Excel method step by step, and reproduce the error
condition. The error method fires, the oExcel object exists, the line
"thisform.oExcel.quit" executes, but it does not kill the Excel instance
