Hi Fernando,

I don't have a problem running Calvin's sample service. I would recomend that you start with Calvin's example and go from there.

>Or there is something I miss in ALL examples I found in the internet (and tested), or there is no way to make a VFP app to run as a services, the way people posted their samples (at least those I found).

>I stripped all unnecessary code from my program to make a sample test (I'll assemble it to the "real" program after making the test to work) and started it as a service. Result? "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.".
