>We have a bunch of EXE's compiled into a menu so that a user selects an EXE and it runs and when it is done the var's, etc are all cleared from memory. A few users are trying to open multiple instances of the main menu and run either the same menu item and different menu items. Is there a way to have the code check to see if another instance of that menu item is running in that one workstation's memory?

I have seen this kind of request more than once, but I am wondering: is there really any problem with a user opening more than one instance of the EXE?
