I'm also chiming in late on this one but it sounds similar to an issue we encountered with v16R3. The application would crash when run as a service when calling SET ABOUT during the server startup. I think you could avoid the crash by ticking the "Allow service to interact with desktop" checkbox, or by removing the call to SET ABOUT. cheers J ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
