Thank you. I have'nt noticed this.
My application is standalone VFP 7 exe file, not a COM server.
It interfaces with vfpcgi.exe (CGI application shipped with VFP): my appl waits for a file to be
created in c:\temp directory, reads this file and writes response back as file. I use VFP timer to check directory.
Is it possible that my VFP 7 appl continues running when I log off from W2K server ?
Can my appl exe register itself as a COM server or is there some simple solution ?
I remember there was an article in UT about creating w2k services .
Also, there was a file ntsvc.zip .
Unfortunately, I cannot find any more information nor this file.
