It's not a problem to kill a process, but doing it in a regular application is the abuse. Why? (And how do you think it can be related to Forms?) You need to design code the way it terminates nicely, without killing.

Try this.

C#

foreach (Process Proc in Process.GetProcesses())
     if (Proc.ProcessName.Equals("EXCEL"))  //Process Excel?
          Proc.Kill();
