Question
How do I make Visual FoxPro run as a service on Windows NT?

Answer
There are several reasons to make an application run as a service on Windows NT. However, it may not be applicable to all applications.
Running an application as a service will allow the Windows NT to load your application at startup without requiring a login. Also, I have found that some applications might run a little better, especially those using a lot of events like socket programming.

If you have the ressource kit, you will find 3 files called SRVANY.EXE, SRVANY.WRI and INSTSRV.EXE.

Switch to the directory where INSTSRV.EXE is
Install a new service giving it the name of the Visual FoxPro service and the full location of srvany.exe: instsrv VFPServer c:\tools\srvany.exe
Go in control panel, open the services window and make the necessary adjustements for VFPServer
Access the registry
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MyService: create a ''Parameters'' key
Under the above key, create an ''Application'' value of type REG_SZ and specify the full path of your executable: Application: REG_SZ: D:\TOOLS\VI.EXE
Under the above key, create an ''AppDirectory'' value of type REG_SZ and specify the current directory to use for the executable: AppDirectory: REG_SZ: C:\TMP
You may now return to the control panel and try to start the service.
