David Just a little investigating has shown me that my previous mail is to be ignored. I originally thought that I might be able to use visual components in a service app by having the main unit reference another unit (containing visuals) in its uses clause - the briefest of looks at Delphi Help shows this cannot be done! I suppose I could run a service that opened the main app when required, but I'm not sure if there would be any advantage in doing that. And..... now that the Logoff/Shutdown problem has been dealt with, are there any disadvantages to runnng a small exe in the system tray from statup on a pc?

To your knowledge, are there issues of complexity related to service apps? Thanks again for your help.
