To all:

My aplication is not prepared to be run for more than one user
at a time.

Still people minimize the aplication, and then forget about it (myself
toooo)
and then load the aplication again creating a error.

I have put several traps .... but not always work.

What would be the best system either to:

Stop compleatelly the loading of a second program.
or
if they do, to inform so they can cancel it.

I would appreciate some help on this, it is driving me nuts...

Hi evilaro,
There is another solution in the dUFLP: a program named IsExeOpen.prg
Its purpose is the same, you get a logical return value if the *.exe is
already open.
This one does not use API functions.
Take a look what suits you best.

Best regards, Heinz

problem,

It works

Hello Emilio,

I have seen some just restore the the already open application when a
use clicks on the short-cut icon. Would be nice to be able to do that.

I recall something you can use to prevent a second instance of your
application from running, don't rememeber the name, but it should be in
the dUFLP. Maybe app something or another.
