Hi You, There ARE some advantages for a service: You can be sure, the program starts automatically, even when no user is logged on. this is not the case with an autoexeced program. The service runs in the context of the operating-system. Tus there are fewer problems regarding access-rights.
There is some information in the delphi help about !service application" which will guide you easily how to create a running service.
