Well, you could try to see if the Process exists
Process[] p = Process.GetProc essesByName("Ou tlook");
if p 0, Outlook is running

Happy coding!

Hello, I would like to prevent my perl program to be executed several times simultaneously (if the program is already running, I would like to display a message like "another instance of this program is already running, please try again in a couple of minutes). For doing this, I guess I have to check the running processes... but I don't know how to do that and how I can identify my program in the running processes.
