Hi Chris, Not sure if this will help, but you might check out:
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/utilities.shtml there are a number of process utilities there. We've had some discussions on this list before, and the short answer is "not easily." You can do things like write a file when you open and delete it when you close --then check to see if it is there when it launches again, but this has obvious problems. Another idea was some sort of intra-application communication. Embed a small server on your app and ping to see if it's around when it opens -- if true, then you know somehthings there --still a headache. Good luck, best, Chipp > Does anyone have a way to check if another instance of a standalone is > already running, and if so close the one that was just opened?
