    Did you write the program you want running?
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.

    The easiest way is to use Windows Task Scheduler. It's in Win2k3 Server, tho...

    Task Scheduler won't check to see if the program is already running, though. If he has access to the source for the program he can just have it exit if a previous instance is running. Then TS, or a similar program writtenin VB, would be a usable solution.

    yea, I just noticed that.

    There is the App.PrevInstance function, but I am not sure how one would capture an exe of another name.
