Experts,
What is the best way to code for finding the PID of a running application (ODS.exe)? I need to find this PID, discreetly, for using in AppActivate pid. A number of examples use the "Find all of the running PIDs." But, I'm interested in finding only one. Part of the purpose is trapping whether the application is already running.
