Look at srvany/srvany32, which is part of the NT Resource Pack. I've used it to run the Automation Manager (the VFP 5.0 non-DCOM way of creating remote objects) as a service and it worked great. Haven't tried it with a VFP .exe but it should work, although shutdown might be an issue.

What are you trying to accomplish?

>Can VFP be ran as a service on NT 4.0? I know that there is an exe that loads a program to the service, but is there any thing special that I need to do to the program, OR is it possible?
