Hi,
I normally write VCL applications but would like to know the
difference between these, console and service applications.
Thanks,
David |

VCL Application- Any application that includes/uses objects from the VCL
framework. This can include GUI, Console and Service Applications.
Console Application- Application written to run in a 'DOS Window'- Generally
text based with no GUI.
Service Application- Application written to run as a Windows Service,
generally able to run unattended even when no users are logged in.
Note that both Console and Service applications can use the VCL, thus making
them both 'VCL Applications.'

I think this is the one I'm looking for. I want a process to
run automatically whether anyone is logged in or not.
How would I go about building a service application? Are the
any code examples I could look at?
Cheers,
David |

Then you need to use a Service Application.

File | New | Other | Service Application. TService and TServiceApplication
handle most of the service-related operations for you. All you need to
provide is the various event handlers for the TService.

Did you read the VCL documentation yet?
