Telling VB to pause, stop or continue a service is not that much code and isn't that difficult. You could use Shell method I listed above.
But, getting VB to recognize if the service's status is not that simple.
My recommendation is to use the code posted in the link above.
Look at the first section in blue (API Declarations). You can just copy and paste this directly into a module in your program.
Look at the second section in blue (Module). Copy this and paste it at the bottom of the same module you posted the API Declarations in.
The 3rd section is the code for 4 separate command buttons. The 1st button Stops the service. In this case, it's the "Scheduling" service. The 2nd button Starts it. The 3rd button Pauses it and the 4th button will tell you the current status of the service.
You would only need to change the name of the service and viola'.
Sweet, i got it going. Thanks for all your help Capp! Now ill just modify it for my liking. By the way, Whats a module? we never learned that in school either. How do i change my post to 'Resolved'?.................
