Well darn,

I tried it with the program path but sometimes the program is opened already.  In those cases, I don't want have the existing session open if it is already open.

Here your asking something totally different. You want to check if an instance of a certain program has been loaded in memory and if yes then no action if no then start the said program is that correct ?
