Hi all,

I've got a VFP application and I'm trying to get it to run as a service on a
NT or 200 machine.
I've managed to use a utility to register it as a service. When I got the
control panel and start the service the application starts as expected.
after a short time windows complains that the app hasn't started in a timely
fashion Error 1053.

Then the App is closed down but it runs ok without error

Is there an API Call or something that I need to return to the Service
Control Manager to tell it that the app has opened correctly ?

I don't really want to use the srvany.exe in the nt res kit as it would mean
that my customers would all have to buy it pushing the price of our
application up! :o(

Is there a solution to this problem? I've read various articles online about
it and I can't see anything that is of use

Thanks in advance

Rob
