Why this error message?

[terrypin]

I started Calculator and ran this 1-line macro.

 

Terminate Process: CALC.EXE

 

But it gives a puzzling Script Error message:

 

The following error was encountered:

The process could not be terminated

Macro Name: Test Terminate macro

Line Number: 1

 

Yet Calculator does get closed.

 

Other programs like Notepad (NOTEPAD.EXE) or Pain (MSPAINT.EX) closed with no message, as did the couple of my own programs that I tried, IrfanView and TextPad. Seems to be something special about Calculator. And maybe other programs I have yet to stumble across.

 

Anyone able to reproduce and/or suggest an explanation please?

I get exactly the same result as you. CALC.EXE gives the error message while another .exe does not. And terminating Calculator using the window name also gives no error message.

Do you guys get this error every time? I did about 100 trials. Sometimes the calc was closed 30 times in a row with no error, sometimes the error occured 3 times within 5 trials. I did no calculations in any of the trials, so it has nothing to do with it.

I wonder why there's no error handling designed for this error (in the command window "on error" tab)?

I wasn't that patient! I suppose I tried it a dozen or so times, and got the error every time.
