I went File|New|Service Application. This produced a TService in which I
have put the code in the OnExecute Event. There is no ProcessRequests in a
TService. Do I have to create a TServiceThread? If so, what is a TService
for?
What I am trying to achieve is a service that polls a folder looking for
certain types of files, and processing them. This is basically a loop with a
sleep(1000).
Dave.

What's in the your on Execute event? Are you calling the
ServiceThreads.ProcessRequests?
