Actualy this only prevent from running the SAME exe once, but if you install the client into 2 diferent folders, you still can run 2 clients. The fix for this is simple. I'll post a tut into other topic. |

Yeah, I saw a pseudo fix in reply to this in the other forum, but at least this one helps prevent running the same exact file more then once .. You could use a mutex to check (system wide) if the process is being ran more then once. |

Question: Are you able to change it to where it has like an Run-Time-Error then below it, it says Bla Bla is already running...? |

| the end was there because end ends the probelm, so it should still be inside the if. and if you dont know how to make another msg box that says what you want I give up. |

Im having a problem on making the frm. I have it to where when you try running 2 clients at one time, frmError pops up and frmMainMenu stays there. But they can go on ahead and login and just ignore the box that pops up... I have it to where the box says what i want it to say and then it has an OK button that you click and it does Call GameDestroy. But my prob is that you can just ignore it and let it just sit there while you continue to run multiple clients... What about if I use like.. frmNewAccount: --Tried it and it still wont work. What code do i use if the frmError is open and if they click New Account, it just uses Call GameDestroy..? |
