My latest products mostly have a NT service that does all the work, and try to listen on a port (TCP). When it find a free port it set it in registry and / or config file. Client program does all parameter settings. Making a C/S like this is quite easy with ICS products in my opinion, but yes it is extra work. The nice thing about TCP is that it also can be done remote. --- Rgds, Wilfried http://www.mestdagh.biz __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk
