Linker option ?

[GJ]

If i'm making a large application ( 20.000 lines code), and then compile without errors, then run the application , all is ok.
Now i want to make some changes, rewrite a sub-routine or whatever, compile again, but forget to close the same application which is still running. The linker will not let me make the application while the output file can't be opened.

Code Select Expand


Compiling...
EBASIC1.eba
No Errors

Linking...
Emergence Linker v1.11 Copyright ÂÃ,© 2006 Ionic Wind Software
Generating C:\Documents and Settings\Gertjan\Mijn documenten\EBASIC1.exe
Error: Unable to open output file C:\Documents and Settings\Gertjan\Mijn documenten\EBASIC1.exe
Error(s) in linking C:\Documents and Settings\Gertjan\Mijn documenten\EBASIC1.exe


Now my question : Is it possible to detect before making the application (F8) if the same application is still running, or is there another way of closing it, so that the linking process will not fail.

i will suggest to hit the close button on this window before compiling again
or if you can't use task manager to terminate the process
