I've made a service with a timer, the only thing it does is write into a log file de date and time every second, All works find until I deside to connect to a database, extract the value of a field and write it in the log file (also in the timer), It simple doens't work (I make the same in a normal application w/o problems), I don't know why, anyone here have made a service that ocnnects to a database and extract data succesfull? The database is Firebird and the componets to access it are FibPlus. Thx. Back to top Alex Sporik Guest Posted: Mon Jan 08, 2007 9:10 am    Post subject: Re: Problems with windows services... Hello Ramsees, I found recently that Timer component simply doe not work in Windows Services. The same story with SetTimer function. I recommend you to create time calculation mechanism using Sleep/SleepEx functions. I can even share some my code if you want.
