Re: How to tell if a program is active?

Standard way to accomplish it is to put an exclusive lock on some agreed
upon object (for example, on program object itself) in the beginning of
code.

Subject:  How to tell if a program is active?




I need to make sure that a particular program is running only once.  I do
not want multiple occurrences of this program to be running.  I'm sure my
mind is already on Thanksgiving time since I can't seem to figure out how I
can check whether a certain program is active or not.  Can anyone help me?
