Capture PID of Process initiating App -

Is there an API which can be used to identify the process which started a secondary application. The primary application is a purchased software package, and for help issues links to a VB application. I do not know how the call is made to start the second VB application. I have checked the parent, but this is not the process which started the application. I need to terminate the callers process when the secondary application closes, but can not distinguish when multiple instances of the application are running. Any suggestions

Thanks
