VBA to exit communicator

[mtharnden]

hello helpful people,

i need a VBA line to exit/close communicator.
the computer starts communicator at startup and i have vba doing some other things however the communicator window pops up on top (not logged in) and i need that closed out of. i dont care if it exits out of communicator entirely or just closes the window.


all i can think of but errors ar msgr.close

Dim msgr As CommunicatorAPI.IMessengerConversationWndAdvanced 
msgr.close

i know how to send an IM so i know i can get excel to see communicator but how can i get it to close the window?

im still playing and trying something with shell, no longer getting errors but it does nothing, cant get it to recognize msgr to quit

 Dim Shell As Object
    Dim msgr As CommunicatorAPI.IMessengerConversationWndAdvanced
       
       Set Shell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
       
       For Each msgr In Shell.Windows
            msgr.Quit
        
    Next
