Allowing only one instance of application

[darkman0101]

How can you allow only one instance of your application by be run at a time? (as opposed to word say.)
would you have to enumerate the running processes looking for a copy of your app and if one is found bomb out of the most recent? Or is there a way to do it OOP style by having a java like constructor that allows only one instance to be created. Or is there a switch in the VB environment that can be set?

Cheers in advance.

Include this early in your startup module, before loading any forms, etc.
[tt]
If App.PrevInstance Then End
[/tt]
You shouldn't have much memory leakage, though there may be cleaner ways to terminate at such an early stage.
