Sounds like what I need. I will check into it.

Of course, it will only execute once R:BASE is running, but then you can EXIT if more than one session has started. Emmitt Dove Manager, Converting Applications Development Evergreen Packaging, Inc.

I have several users that run on Terminal server via touch screen tablet thin clients. When they start up a compiled Rbase app, they double tap the touch screen on the app icon. Touch screens are not always the best input for double tapping and often, they do not get the program started the first try. (These are portable tablets mounted on fork lifts and do not have mouse, keyboards nor stylus. Totally touch screen as drivers cannot be fooling around with mice and stylus) As impatient users often are, if they do not see something show immediately, they start double, triple, quadruple tapping the screen. Then they wind up with 4-5 sessions running. (Yes, I have a SHOW LOADING dialog window, but they often do not wait for that to show) So I want to have a process in my startup routine to check to see if any existing sessions of the compiled app is running. I.E. if the app is named "CompiledApp.exe" how can I check from within Rbase if that exe is already running? If it is, I will have the startup routine display a message as such and then shut down the second session. I guess I need to check the number of sessions of "CompiledApp.exe". If only 1 is found then all is OK, if the count is 2 then shut down the session. Thanks, -Bob
