Pass values to the old instance of the same program. This is useful to open a document in the old window if the user double clicks the file instead of opening a new window. This avoids having multiple windows of the same application in the taskbar.

Did you run it with two instances of the same app? You can't just run it from within the VB IDE. This application will communicate with another instance of itself. Try opening the .exe then drag a file onto the .exe from explorer. The app will tell you which file you dragged onto it.
