You put code right at the beginning of the application to check for a previous instance. If App.PrevInstance then End. About the only time it is acceptable to use End to terminate as VB application - before any forms are loaded. Stuart

For that you are going to have to use the API. There are no functions in VB to for that. You are going to have to do some research yourself to work out how to do that. Stuart
