I don't know if there is a "direct" way. But you can try to take a look
at the two posts by Georg Ragaller for retrieving an active object. If
this succeeds it must be an indication that the COM object/application
is running.

Georg's posts are:

and

http://discuss.develop.com/archives/wa.exe?A2=ind0504b&L=jawin&T=0&F=&S=&P=2079

Hopefully I will within too long get around to incorporate his changes
into jawin.

Best Regards
Morten
