Does anyone have some sample code for a VB.NET Service program. I need the service program to sleep and come alive every night around midnight. The program needs to open an MDB database, update one of the tables and then go back to sleep until the next day. Can this be done with a console app or does it need to be a service? I need it to run even if the server is logged off. Will a console program run from the scheduler if the computer is logged off?
 
I did this once, but lost the code for it. However, you need to start the
service using the System account. This way it will continue to run once the
current user has logged off.

Just build in a timer control that checks if it's midnight
ever minute...

Use a service and use the system account to run it, that way no one needs to
be logged on.
