Dear All, I am using VFP6, is it possible for application run as a system's
service and avoid user to kill the background running task ? Thanks.

Yes; it's possible. You can use srvany to get it loaded.
There can be no UI for a service; but the user can always kill it with "net stop
<myservice>"

Hi Andy:

There is an example on how to run VFP as a service on
www.universalthread.com. Go to the Download section, choose Visual FoxPro
as the Forum and search for the ID number 13560. The title is "Run a Vfp
exe as a Service."

I hope this helps.
