Hi Sean,
In VB you do something like this to use an existing instance of MIPro or
start a new one if none's running:
Set oMIPro = GetObject(,"MapInfo.Application")
If oMIPro is nothing Then
Set oMIPro = CreateObject("MapInfo.Application")
End If
I think you can do it similarly in Access.
Best regards / Med venlig hilsen

Subject: MI-L Check if Mapinfo Professional Open
> Hi,
>
>
> I'm trying to write some code in access that checks if Mapinfo is already
open before launching a new instance of it. If used the standard windows
FindWindow API. Searching by either MapInfo's classname or window caption
returns zero results, thing is if I do this with any other application it
works fine. Anyone got any ideas/suggestions ?
