Your question :-
"I need to check whether a program is running before i can overwrite the file"
is not very explicit.
If you are referring to a VFP application, then ramani's FAQ will give you a solution - if not, please give sufficient information in your question for someone to be able to present you with an appropriate answer. HTH

You could simply try something like this:
[tt]
cSaveError=ON("ERROR"
lError=.F.
ON ERROR lError=.T.
COPY FILE myExe.exe TO \LIVE\myExe.EXE
ON ERROR &cSaveError
IF lError
&& File copy failed...probably was in use
ELSE
&& File copy succeeded, couldn't have been in use
ENDIF
[/tt]
