How to find out if the same PB app is running?

[pbbins01]

I have a PB app that is already running. Now when I open the same app again (second time) I need to find out if the app is already running or not. How do I do that? I thought OpenChannel would work by passing the app name. But it did not.

Thanks

In your application object open event try:

long ll_handle

ll_handle = handle(this,true)

IF ll_handle <> 0 THEN
 // previous copy running
END IF
