Detect if an application is running on the LAN

[sirpelon]

Hi,

I'm developing a distributed application for capture clients orders, i have implemented a module that monitors the sessions of the users, but only one instance of this module can be running at a time. How can I detect if there is a previous instance of this module running on my LAN, the module is a Standard .EXE developed in Visual Basic 6

Thanks in advance

Try this in your Startup code:

If App.PrevInstance Then End Let me know if this helps
