It was very simple and the source code was freely available. It provided the event hooks need to respond to service requests. I'll see if I can dug up the code, granted, I haven't used ActiveX OCXs on RB.

Thanks for the input. Any suggestions would be appreciated. _________________ RB 2010 r4 Enterprise on Win 7 Top scarroll Post subject: Re: Service help.Posted: Thu Dec 09, 2010 12:46 am Joined: Sat Apr 18, 2009 9:54 pm Posts: 26 The original code was released in 1997 as an OCX in the Microsoft Developer Network as the free NTSVC.ocx component. You can do a google search for ntsvc.ocx to find examples and its usage, limitations.

Then when I compile it what do I do with it so windows will recognize it as a service?
