[AccessD] Personal question about OCX

If you bought it to run on demand on a single PC, running it as a
service on a server may very well be a violation of your EULA on the
software.

	Drew,
	 
	We bought software that has some automation programs that
receive email and send email among other things.  Each one is a separate
"module" or "add in" for this software package.  They were intended to
run on a pc and started by an individual as they were needed.  Our need
exceeded this use, we need this to run 24 / 7, so we started them on the
server, and simply locked the computer letting the "modules" run.  I did
look in to the OCX to see if I could convert these little exe's into
services that would run on the server without logging into the server,
however I believe you need to insert code into the applications on load
events or something if I remember correctly.  
	 
	Do you know of any other way to let an application that should
be a service, run as a service.  Hang up is that I cannot gain access to
the source code without paying, or having them do it and charge us out
the wazzoo??  All I have is an EXE that I kick off.  
	 
	Just looking for some insight...
	 
	thanks,
	Rich
