I agree about using TCP.<br>
<br>
We also use a component called TCiaService which allows us to still
have a form that gets created but not shown if it's a service unless
someone logs in (and then an icon appears in the system tray with a
menu to do stuff like show the form). So you can still run the program
as either a regular exe (you still get the icon) or automatically as a
window service.<br>

I generally communicate with shared memory block. For some applications
I use TCPServer for communications.
