    I am creating an application that will query my database everynight and use that information to create a text file. (The text file will be used by another system.) The problem is that I need to be able to log off of Windows at the end of the day. The only applications that I know of that runs while not logged on are services. So can I use VB to create a service that runs "Under the covers" of windows.

    Thanks,
    JJK

    Thanks alot Vince. That was the answer I was looking for. My only concern is that the explanation is for VB 4 or 5 and I am running VB 6. Oh well, I will try it and if I have problems I will deal with them.

    Thanks again,
    JJK
