    Hi

    Does anyone know how I can gain control over Netmeeting from VB6. I can launch it no problem but can not close calls etc.

    Have you read through these? I'm not familiar with it or anything. It just looks like it is possible for most apps to control various aspects of NM.

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/EN-US/netmeet/nm3com1_8m09.asp documents the COM API. Like fatherdougalmag I'm not familiar with it but the COM objects should provide everything you need.

    I think you really need to bite the bullet and get jiggy with COM. It seems that you can enumerate the calls (presumably you'll only have your call) and then call the ::Release method which will decrement the reference count and (should) result in the call being released.

    There's a C++ sample here showing you how to launch NM if that's any help. Along with having no NetMeeting experience I'm also not very conversant in COM.

    As I mentioned in my PM, just killing the NetMeeting program might also be an option. Or just reboot the machine :)
