    Run Only One Instance - Exit If Already Running..??

    I'm new to VBS and in need of some code that will allow only once instance of the VBS File to be ran at a time..
    so if the 1st instance is already running, a 2nd instance cannot be ran...

    Is this possible at all or not..??
    If so How do i code it..??

    i have don't know if there is a proper way to do this, but you could read the vbs file, delete it, then recreate it when you script finishes
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
