You need to check if the application is already running before
launching it again, one easy way to do it; but not the best; is to check
for the window title of you application with this code:

LOCAL lnWindowHandle

DECLARE INTEGER FindWindow IN WIN32API INTEGER,STRING
DECLARE INTEGER BringWindowToTop IN WIN32API INTEGER

lnWindowHandle = FindWindow(0,lcMyWindowTitle)

IF lnWwindowHandle > 0 && App is runing bring it forward
=BringWindowToTop(lnWindowHandle)
ENDIF
