[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1507162, member: 131855"] Are the applications involved always the same ones? So, strictly as an example, Mail is always quit before Safari opens? If so the following should work. Make sure that the Automator application that you built has been saved as an application. Launch Automator and choose to build an Application when it asks what you want to create, Then do the following steps: 1. Search the Automator library for a "Quit Application" action and move it to the right side of the Automator window. Don't use the Quit All Applications action. 2. In the drop down menu for that action choose the program that you want to quit. 3. Search for a Launch Application action and add it to the window just beneath the first. Select the Automator application that you want to launch. Test the workflow. If all is well save it somewhere convenient. The next time you want to quit program A and launch program B use this to quit program A. Let us know how this works. It could be done with Applescript fairly easily as well. [/QUOTE]
