Hi!

You can use the SRVAny application from the NT Resource Kit to run VFP EXE as a service. When you run it from your own or administrator account, other users will not have rights to kill or stop that process. All that they can do is just delete some files or change them so your application do not run properly. So, protect also the files on which your app is depended. Note that you require to protect, move or delete the 'KILL' utility application on your comuter, to keep it out from touch by otehr users because kill allows to kill process without warning and checking of user rights.

HTH.

>>What is that "task"? Non-VFP EXE you can run using API function ShellExecute(), that also have a parameter to hide app window, however, it does not always help because many applications have their own system of controlling application windows. When EXE is VFP EXE application, you can hide it before starting just by putting 'SCREEN=OFF' in the config.fpw file, and then include that config file into that exe or run EXE using that config file.

>>If you meant processes in multi-threaded environment - VFP does not support this. You will require to make a C++ COM object that you can call from VFP, and that COM object, using C++, probably can do multi-threading.
