Close active app

Does anyone know how to close an active application? The app I want to be able to close is only visible through the Task Manager processes tab.

Perhaps this will help:

Code:
Function IsProcessRunning(strProcess) As Boolean
    Dim Process
    IsProcessRunning = False
    For Each Process In GetObject("winmgmts://").InstancesOf("win32_process")
    If UCase(Process.Name) = UCase(strProcess) Then
            IsProcessRunning = True
            Exit Function
        End If
    Next
End Function


This will determine if a process is running.
It can be used as follows...

Code:
If IsProcessRunning("notepad.exe") = True Then
    MsgBox "Process is running"
Else
    MsgBox "Process is not running"
End If


That's the best to my knowledge right now...
try reading the MSDN as its helped me out greatly in the past

Here's a slight reference which may help you:
How to tell if a Shelled/Executed process has ended
