I too am just about to write a service that uses IBO...

All I want the service to-do is listen for IB Events (on the same PC) and
then just execute a couple simple SQL statements that updates and deletes
records in one or two tables...

Is there anything I should be aware of in making this work???

Do I just set up an IB Connection, Transaction, Events and DSQL/Cursors as
normal??? Should I through in an IB_Session component??

Any help appreciated.

Regards

Colin

It depends on a lot of things. There are things you need to be careful of
when writing a service.

The latter. I will not inhibit what you want to do. I only seek to find ways
to bottle things up in a way that saves you a lot of time and frustration
and have a solid working application.

Yep!
