RE: [DUG]: best way to go for auto-email apps

[Myles Penlington]

You could use the Windows 2000 task scheduler as that runs as a service and by default allows interaction with the desktop, so should still run okay without any changes. But of course if on NT then out of luck ...   You could try this for your current programs without any changes to them.   Myles.   -----Original Message----- From: Tracey Maule [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 5 March 2003 9:36 a.m. To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: best way to go for auto-email apps Hi guys   I currently have 2 or 3 applications which run a series of queries, and send emails, depending on the results of those queries.   Im about to create another, and i would like your expert opinions on the best way to do these.   Currently they are just normal apps run from task manager.  Unfortunately this means that if i have my server logged off, the apps dont run.   I was considering creating the next as a service, (and turning the others into services too).  What say you all?  what are the implications of doing this? Any change required in the way they are coded?         Tracey Software Developer / Web Master Logis [EMAIL PROTECTED] (025) 213-1065
