The OnStart method needs to finish quickly, otherwise it will give a timeout
error when starting the service.

If your service is intended to synchronice the databases periodically, you
will want to use OnStart method to start a Timer, and exit. The Timer event
will then perform the synchronization with the periodicity that you need.

Normally the issue here is that a service runs in a different security
context (commonly "local service" or "network service") which means
that it won't have the same rights (on the network) that you do. Try
running the service is a dedicated user identity that has access to
the database.

Or tell us more about "not working" - i.e. the exact error message /
behaviour.
