One version, on Top

Why
It might be interesting, in case you inadvertently call a second occurrence of the program,
that is merely puts back into foreground the (forgotten) first one.
When 2 Reliable start stealing each other's work files, you land into some trouble.
I developed the module, and you can see I used it in some other applications of mine.
I did not re-incorporate it in my latest version of Reliable, as I do not restart Reliable every 5 minutes and I got more careful.

How
Be sure your App.Title
    (as supplied in Project|Properties|Create|Title)
    (or seen in your .vbp under KeyWord: Title=".....")
is UNIQUE

Just reference the two supplied modules:
    Module_PreviousInstanceActivate.bas
    Module_RTrimNull.bas
in your .vbp file.

When your form loads, you add something like:

'############################################################################################
Private Sub Form_Load()
    '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Me.Left = (Screen.Width - Me.Width) / 2
    Me.Top = (Screen.Height - Me.Height) / 2
    Me.Caption = App.Title
    '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    If App.PrevInstance Then
        Call PreviousInstanceActivate(Me)
        Unload Me
        Exit Sub
    End If
     '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    .....
    '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
End Sub
'############################################################################################
