Hi, I have just programmed a nice little application which retrieves information from Exchange 5.5 and compares that data with SQL server 2000 data. Any discrepancies are stored in a table for use by another program. At the moment the application is scheduled to execute every morning via a scheduling program.

What I would like to know is how can I / is it possible to turn this program into a Windows 2000 service that can be started and stopped via the Service manager.

Any links/ tutorials/ recommendations appreciated

Cheers
