New D.I.C Head Joined: 10 May, 2008 Posts: 13 My Contributions	This is not a homework question. I'm done with that class. At this point I'm trying to "embrace and extend" my VB knowledge. I would like to build an app that will allow a domain admin to control services. Namely the W2k3 NIS server. and a few others. Are there build in classes, etc that allow for start, stop, restarting of services? Just looking for some pointers. I would like the app to have a green, red symbol to alert the admin (me) that a service has died or quit. Thanks. Richard

Microsoft even provides an ActiveX Control for simplifying the task. I've attached a ZIP File which contains the control (.ocx file) and its documentation.
