I am attempting to query a SQL database (Pubs) through RDS and HTTP:. I use the following code"

Set ds = CreateObject("RDS.DataSpace")

I have some Tools created in VB and I would like to Save the data from a Workstation to a SQL Server DB that is located somewhere else, I don't want to make use of WAN though.

Trouble Connecting From .NET 2.0 App On Win2000 Server Client To Remote SQL Server 2005 DB
Hi,

Has anyone experienced similar problems trying to connect under the stated configuration? Were you able to resolve?

This looks like some type of security or permissions issue on the client side but I don't know where to start looking. The login is correct and I don't have any issues when the client is XPSP2.

Additional info:

The Windows 2000 Server client is running SP4.
The 'Data Link' application used to configure the connection string from the client tests successfully.
Can't even connect as Administrator from the client.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Running As A Service
How could I make my program run as a service, make it run on startup and yeah, well you guys know what a service is.

Running VB As A Service?
Hello Again,

I am looking for input on running Visual Basic as a service. I have done some research on this and I found a microsoft page that gives a control (NTSRV.OCX) to use for this. But it basically says microsoft does not reccomend running Visual Basic as a service even with Ntsrv.ocx.
The Article is Below:
http://support.microsoft.com/directo...EN-US;Q175948&

There so many advantages to running an operations type application as a service. I am still tempted to try it anyway.

Does anyone have experience with running Visual Basic as a service? Did you use nstrv? What is your experience with running Visual Basic as a service?

Thanks,
Beth Barja

VB EXE Running As A Service
Help,

I have a vb application which will run on an NT 2000 server, the app runs 24/7 and polls several directories for csv file coming in and then processes then (upload to a database). I need to run the app as a service and not just kick it off on the desktop but I have read on the microsoft site that you can not run a vb exe as a service. Does anyone know how I can run my vb app as a service.

Thanks for your help,

Chris

Running As Service?
Hello!

Is there any way to check if my app is running as a service or not?

App Running As Os Service?
I received one additional piece of information which may help
(doesn't help me, but maybe it will help someone help me): someone
suggested that the application, or a part of it, begins running as a
service of the operating system. If this sounds plausible, where does
the problem likely originate? Is it some part of the program code, or
some program code that is not present (the app. has nothing in it that
attempts to identify its environment), or maybe something in the
project properties?

Thanks for any info.

Here is the relevant part of my original post:
I have a vb6 application which may have been started on Windows95
using an earlier vb version, definitely updated on Windows98(inc. SP
5). It is deployed on a machine running WindowsXP, and in this
environment the user can close the program, yet it (or some remnant of
it) remains listed in the Task Manager. This doesn't happen every time
user closes the program, and without looking at Task Manager it
appears the program is completely gone--no minimized windows in the
task bar, no error or warning messages.

Printing While Running As A Service
I am running a VB 6.0 app as a service on a windows 2000 box. This application is supposed to print out letters. I am using the ntservice control on my form, and as far as the service goes everything seems to be fine.

The problem is, VB cannot access the printer object.

I even tried putting together a simple app that just cycles through the printer collection and logs the printer information. Works fine as an exe run from windows, but once again, when run as a service, there is no access to the printer collection; nothing at all.

Any suggestions would be helpful!

Could Be Tricky.. Running A Vb App As A Service
Hey all,

I am looking to run my vbapp as a windows service in the background. Basically I need to install it on a system and have it loaded in the startup, this is all fine and well once the user has logged in, however I need to consider the possibility of a power failure or system reboot and I need the app to run as a background service, therefore it will be running without anyone having to physically login to windows. Can this be done?

Thanx

Problem With VB App Running As Service
I have a VB app that uses a timer to run a fuinction every 60 secs.

Within that function I have some loggin code so I can see when the function is correctly processed.

I used Eltima Application As Service (cos I was lazy and needed some quick way) to get it running as a windows service on my Win2K production server.

However every week or so it stops functioning correctly and also stops writing to my error log.

Is there some issue with using an app with a timer as a service? Any ideas how I can investigate/debug this?!

I could upgrade to eltima v2 as this is upposed to restart stopped services, but not sure whether this would help as I'm not sure if my service is actually stopped, or whether its the VB exe that has the problem.

Any help in investigating this much appreciated!!

Running As System Service

Running As Service - Resolved

Has anyone got any code or programs that does it?

Running A VB 6 Program As A Service.
I have a program (VB6 exe) that I need to execute daily on a Windows 2000 server with no one logged in.

I have 2 questions.

1. What do I need to do - if anything - to allow this program to run as a service?

2. Can I schedule services using, say, windows task scheduler or some other admin tool (or API) or would the program itself just have to keep running continuously and checking whether it was time to do its stuff?

Service Running As Trayicon
I've done application and put it to run as a service. I understand that services run in background, don't have GUI etc., but I really need it to run as trayicon immediately when it is activated, so that I can choose among some settings, shut it down and so on.
I know how to code that, but I don't now how to implement that to service.

Thanx for anykind of info in advance !

Running A VBS Script From Within A Web Service
Hi, first off I'm very new to Visual Basic, I'm trying my best to figure out how I can run a Web Service using VB so that we can query our windows machines from Linux at my work.

So far I have a simple little script that receives data and is then supposed to execute a VBS script using this data for the parameters, but I can't find any good documentation on how to execute a script.

The script is adsutil.vbs and we normally use it from within a BAT script ("%WINDIR%system32iisweb.vbs /create c:Temp "Template" /d %DOMAIN% /dontstart")

Can anyone give me a pointer in the right direction as to how I would execute this script from within a VB Web Service?

Thanks in advance!

Permissions On A Service Running A VB App
Hi There all,

Some more help from you guys please. I have a system service that spawns a VB 6 exe every hour at 30 minutes past the hour on a WIndows 2000 advanced server PC.

The exe uses a system ODBC connection to communicate with an Access database on another server on the LAN. When I setup the ODBC conenction, I used the full UNC name to the server and had to connect as another user on a domain to enable me to see the Access database, on the server.

If I run this VB app from the command line, it works fine. However when the system service tries to run it, I get an Microsoft Access ODBC driver error saying that the file is not valid.

I am pretty sure that this is down to permissions. I have tried to change the system service. I have tried to get the system service to run as the user that I specified when trying to create the ODBC connection (as opposed to localsystem) but it says that the user name is unknown!!

Any guidence that you guys can give me would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Shutting Down A VB App Running As A Service
I have a VB application that is running as a Service on Windows 2000. When the service is stopped, I don't think all the resources are being freed up properly. Is there a way to receive a notification that the service is being shut down so that the VB application can shut down gracefully? I noticed that on other posts, they talk about shutting down a form, or clicking on a button, etc, however, I don't have any forms to handle this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
