Hi All
In the past I have followed this article
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/calvin_hsia/2004/12/13/creating-a-vfp-appli...
Does anyone have any advice about how to approach this on Server 2016 as I believe SRVANY is no longer an option.
Regards
Chris

Well I'd approach it via the right tool for the right job, i.e. .NET :)
However there are other things like NSSM (http://nssm.cc/) that would probably work fine - this tool in particular was last updated mid-2017 so seems to still be active and should work on Server 2016.
Thanks Alan I will give it a try, NSSM that is not .NET 😊

Thanks Dave I have quickly tried the NSSM utility Alan mentioned and it works a treat as a replacement for SRVANY but I will check out the Always Up app as it sounds interesting.

An age ago, I researched, and wrote an FLL to allow a VFP program to become a service. VFP is not multithreaded, so having multiple things attempt to access it didn't work out for me. I changed it to be a C# service that uses multiple instances of a VFP COM object.
A service is a nice idea, it can run even when a user hasn't logged in to the system. It can be installed through an installer. A scheduled task, does a lot of the same things. I don't know that it can be setup via an installer.
For an in house project I have the network admin setup a scheduled task. For production products we ship, it's C#.
YMMV, Tracy
