Detection of Word incidence on server

I have a problem with Word on the server. I have a program that uses Winword
to generate a Word document on the server. It works O.K. unless two or more
different users try it at the same time. Since Word is a single instance
program, One User's document is created O.K., but the other person's gets
swallowed up and when the first person's process completes, the second person's
is orphaned. Is there a way to detect whether Winword is running on the
server, even if it is running from another application? Thank You.
