There are some articles here on CP about that. My prefered one is PJNaughter's. http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/csingleinst.asp?target=naughter[^] But better dwl the one from his website directly, it is up to date. ~RaGE();

Are you trying to limit to only one instance or do you want to limit to some other number? John

[Kamesh]

I would like to run only one instance of my application at anytime. With Thanks & Regards --Kamesh
