How to tell if another instance of a report is running

Does anyone know how to tell if an instance of a report is already currently opened? I am using RDC and Visual Basic to modify a report and save it (via the 'SaveAs' method). If the Report Designer is open with this report loaded a call to this method displays an OK dialog box saying that the report could not be saved under that name, etc. My question is...How can I suppress this dialog box or test on whether another instance of the report is already opened as I don't want my program to require user input. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
