The standard way to check a Win32 service is ADSI. Since ADSI doesn't have a standard COM interface even though it acts like it, it couldn't be accessed from CF previous to MX.
However...since JIntegra does have support for ADSI, I'm thinking MX just might be able to talk to active directory. http://www.intrinsyc.com/support/j-integra/doc/other_examples/Creating_an_NT_User_via_ADSI_from_Java.htm Probably depends on how smart the cf/jintegra interface is (I wouldn't hold my breath...). I'd definitely investigate it though. Who knows...might be as simple as comp = createObject("COM","WinNT://serverName/") service = comp.getObject("service", "serviceName") etc... -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, August 20, 2003, 3:01:21 PM, you wrote: DA> Is it possible to build a service control interface with CF?
