In addition, this account should have enough access rights on the local computer to access all local resources (my application runs WORD OLE, Outlook OLE, PDF printing, printing etc. in service mode without any problems). There is a single problem, however, when someone logon on local computer with the same account as used for services. When such user logout, all SRVANY/VFP services ran under that account shutdown too. So, make your own unique account for these services that nobody from users know about, and register it as network user to access network.
