  As stated, that the Setting given by Alex is only for VS2005, not VS2003

  if its an executable assembly, your app, you can get the list of processes by name and if it already exists then you know that another instance is running:

  Dim theProcesses() as Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessByName("yourAppName")

  if theProcesses.Length > 1 then

  'another process running

  end if

  In Visual studio 2005, in the project settings, under the application tab there is a check box, "Make single instance application" that ensures that at any time there is only one instance of that application running on your machine. You can then also click on the "View application events", select "My application events" and select "StartupNextInstance" if you want to do any special processing if another instance tries to start (it won't, but it will notify the original one that it tried through this event.)

  Was that what you needed
