Yes, I have run into those niggly things before too with services. LocalSystem is very restrictive. You can however have a service run with an account but not with the context mappings. I should perhaps mention that the app. is 300,000+ lines of console mode fortan. Not converting it to DLL and not setting it up for multi-threading is definitely a bonus. I can write control program and control service in Delphi though. ---------------------------------------------------------- Phil Scadden, Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences 764 Cumberland St, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin, New Zealand Ph +64 3 4799663, fax +64 3 477 5232 _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [email protected] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
