I am not sure what compiler you are using but 7.6 have a checkbox labeled "allow only one instance of compiled application". The default is unchecked but if you check it your user will not allow to open multiple instances of the application on the same machine. I am sorry to hear that Xtreme does not allow multiple instances to run on the same computer. A lot of users like to open more that one session so that the same user can do and view different information during a normal work period.

It is not outside logic that certain users might need to have two sessions open. If I can obtain a session count, I can then set by user, the number of allowed sessions and enforce it programatically. -Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "jan johansen" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 10:41:39 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Determine session count of compiled Rbaseapplication Bob, One of the new features in the 9.0 Extreme compiler is to allow only one session. I encourage you to explore that option. Jan Johansen -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] (RBASE-L Mailing List) Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2010 15:35:09 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [RBASE-L] - Determine session count of compiled Rbase application This may have been discussed before, so my apologies if I missed it. I have several users that run on Terminal server via touch screen tablet thin clients. When they start up a compiled Rbase app, they double tap the touch screen on the app icon. Touch screens are not always the best input for double tapping and often, they do not get the program started the first try. (These are portable tablets mounted on fork lifts and do not have mouse, keyboards nor stylus. Totally touch screen as drivers cannot be fooling around with mice and stylus) As impatient users often are, if they do not see something show immediately, they start double, triple, quadruple tapping the screen. Then they wind up with 4-5 sessions running. (Yes, I have a SHOW LOADING dialog window, but they often do not wait for that to show) So I want to have a process in my startup routine to check to see if any existing sessions of the compiled app is running. I.E. if the app is named "CompiledApp.exe" how can I check from within Rbase if that exe is already running? If it is, I will have the startup routine display a message as such and then shut down the second session. I guess I need to check the number of sessions of "CompiledApp.exe". If only 1 is found then all is OK, if the count is 2 then shut down the session. Thanks, -Bob
