Please explain this, because to me this can never work. You are using a Local variable in the program and that can only work for one usage of the EXE file. When you start the first instance, you get the value 0 for GlobalCount. When you start the second instance, you ALSO get the value 0 for GlobalCount. Because, both programs do NOT interact with each other.
