hi: 

This code may help you: 

     '** if not allowed multiple copies, then goto PrevInst if avail     If (App.PrevInstance) Then         sMsg = APP_NAME & " is already running." & CRLF         sMsg = sMsg & "Switching to that copy."         MsgBox sMsg, MB_ICONINFORMATION 

        sTitle = App.Title         App.Title = "... duplicate instance."         AppActivate sTitle         SendKeys "% R", True         End     End If  

Where: you should set APP_NAME to the name of your app.  Of course, you can just jump to it without displaying a messagebox first.  Also note, it's important to (temporarily) change the title of the current app, so that it can find the one that's already running.  Good luck, 

-- Greg
