I have now tested it on a GUI app by putting it into the lpr file at the very beginning: uses .... uniqueinstanceraw; {$R *.res} begin if InstanceRunning('myidentifier') then exit; Application.Initialize; Worked straight out of the box! Now I just have to check that it works also for a console program, which means I have to create two terminals and start it in one and then try to start also in the other. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
