Have a look at Mutex's - start with createmutex, it is in the winapi help.
This will allow you serialise access to anything you wish between your
apps.

Subject: [DUG]: Two Delphi programs need a single source
I hope someone has some ideas as I'm stuck.
I have a situation where two delhi programs need to obtain an incrimenting
unique ID number from the single source.
So an example.
Delphi progrm 1 processes and gets unique ID 1000
Delphi program 2 processes and gets inque ID 1001
Delphi progrm 1 processes and gets unique ID 1002
Delphi program 2 processes and gets inque ID 1003
Delphi progrm 2 processes and gets unique ID 1004
Delphi program 2 processes and gets inque ID 1005
and so on....
So it's reasonably easy to use a single ini file or share a registry entry
but what hapens when both programs want to get a unique ID at the same
time.
In future I'll have more delhi programs that need to get the uniqie ID form
the same source.
Thanks for any help.
