multiple instances of standalone under Windows

Does anyone have a way to check if another instance of a standalone is
already running, and if so close the one that was just opened?  I have an
application running under Windows and need to keep the user from opening
multiple instances of it.  Is there a way to do this?

I've tried using 'if there is a process "ProcessName"', but that doesn't
seem to be working.  Maybe I'm just using it incorrectly?  Any ideas would
be appreciated.
