Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Thanks For your respond I Get and this just for share.


Code:
Sub GetPID()
Dim StrPath As String
StrPath = "C:\New folder\Test.txt" ' Please type FullName
MsgBox notepad_ProcessID_ByName(StrPath)
End Sub
Public Function notepad_ProcessID_ByName(NtpPath As String)
Dim oServ As Object
Dim cProc As Object
Dim oProc As Object
StrProcessName = "Notepad.exe"
Set oServ = GetObject("winmgmts:")
Set cProc = oServ.ExecQuery("select * from win32_process")
For Each oProc In cProc
    If InStr(1, oProc.Name, StrProcessName, vbTextCompare) <> 0 Then ' is it Notepad
        If InStr(1, oProc.CommandLine, NtpPath, vbTextCompare) <> 0 Then ' check path
        PID = oProc.ProcessID
        'oProc.Terminate
        Exit For
        End If
    End If
Next
notepad_ProcessID_ByName = PID
Set oServ = Nothing
Set cProc = Nothing
End Function
