>I have written an interface application that will be sending billing charges to a facilities billing system. It is written in vfp8 and is installed on our database (SQL Server 2000) server in the facility. It does have a user interface that displays transactions as they process and any error codes generated by the transaction. I need to find a way make this application automaticly launch whenever the server is rebooted. If my understanding is correct, there isn't a way to run it as a service (which would be ideal).

Unless you have autologin for the user account, then your program will not load until someone logs in to the machine.

You can write a service, but then you need to work on your C++ skills.

There is a way you can write a service that spawns an instance of your application, but you would need to make sure that the application doesn't need to display dialogs that need to be clicked or interacted with.
