Hi all,

We want to prevent users from running more than instance of the same app.

In other words, only one instance of  the app should be allowed at any given time.

Is there a way to do it through compiler options or only at OS level?

Thank you.

    No compiler option that I know of. Does your app require a login / password in order to run it? If so, you could track that a user has already logged in and when they log on the run a 2nd instance you could provide a message that they're already running the app.
