Please help me, I can't find a thread ...

I'm looking for a thread that talks about knowing if an instance of a program is running. I've searched in the forum, but I can't find it.

Could someone tell me where it is?

Thanks ...

If you mean an instance of the same program you can use

If App.PrevInstance Then
msgbox "already running"
End If

I think I could use that instruction, but I'm looking for a way that can test if an instance of an application is running from another application, not from the same application something like:

if applicationisrunning("otherappl.exe") then
do nothing
else
startapplication("otherappl.exe"
endif

Thanks...

See my post in thread222-293451

You can modify that to just see if the program is running or not. You do not need to proceed with terminating it -Unless that is ultimately what you're looking to do.
