I have been using GoodSync (http://www.goodsync.com/) for about a year, and I'm very happy with it. I use it with a thumb drive to sync my laptop with my desktop -- one of its really nice features is that it will sync both ways (so if I forget and change something in one place it won't overwrite the changes but will sync them back to the other place). If there's a conflict (something changed in both places) it warns me and does nothing until I choose which direction should win. It's pretty cheap for what it does -- you need one license for each machine you run it on, but they were running a deal where I got the second license for very cheap. I recommend it highly.

I have considered it, but I am not primarily a VB programmer. I spend most of my time in the Notes/Domino web world -- LotusScript, JavaScript, HTML, and some of the rest on the iSeries (RPG). The VB apps we have are just oddball little things -- this one prints a PDF file automatically from an RPG program -- and since I'm reasonably comfortable in VB6 that's what I did it in. I've heard that moving to .NET is a big learning curve, so up to now I've stayed away from it ...

Thanks Vuyiswa, but that solution uses dot net, and I'm using VB6. For those interested, I did find a solution: Private Const PROCESS_TERMINATE = 1 Dim lProcessHandle As Long, lResult As Long, lMyProcessID as Long lProcessHandle = OpenProcess(PROCESS_TERMINATE, True, lMyProcessID ) lResult = TerminateProcess(lProcessHandle, 0&) which seems to work. I think my problem was that I was trying to send TerminateProcess lMyProcessID instead of lProcessHandle ...

I'm pretty new to coding to the Win32 API, so this may be a newbie question: I've got an application writen in VB6 that opens a PDF document in Adobe Acrobat Reader with the /p switch, so that it shows the print dialog window. When the user clicks "ok", I want the document to print and Acrobat Reader to close. I open Acrobat Reader using the Shell command, and I close it by sending WM_CLOSE messages to the process (following examples I found online). This all worked fine when I was using Acrobat Reader version 7, but I recently upgraded to version 9, and now I'm finding that the task manager shows AcroRd32 running even after all the windows have closed. This is a problem, since if the user tries to print a second document, a new window doesn't open and no print dialog window appears. I can get the process id, and I've tried using TerminateProcess to end it, using code: lngResult = TerminateProcess(lngProcessId, 0&) This returns a zero, which I understand means that an error has occurred, but GetLastError also returns a zero, which seems to mean no error was trapped. Can anyone help me understand what's going on, or what I'm missing here? Thanks very much for your help!
