Preventing another instance of the application to run

[SouthSpawn]

If I already have one application running, and the user tries to open
another application. How do I exit the second application and "SET FOCUS"
back to the first application.

Thanks,
Mark

For activating the other instance, use p/invoke on 'SetForegroundWindow'.
