barking up the wrong tree?

[Brian]

Thanks for your time.

I've been assigned the task of building an application that will
automatically print DWG files. The list of files to print is derived from a
text file that is periodically ftp'ed to a network drive.

My current design includes a windows service and a exe file. The windows
service uses a FileSystemWatcher and a process component. The
filesystemwatcher looks for the ftp'ed file. On the create event of the
filesystemwatcher, it executes the process component which executes the exe
application to print the files.

All the pieces work independently of each other, but when I try to integrate
the two systems, the printing part doesn’t work.

Any ideas why when I call the exe from a windows service the printing
process behaves differently? The printing is being done in the exe, not the
windows service. I've read posts about the security concerns of printing to
a network printer from a service and the user permissions required. Do you
think this is my problem? ‘

Why do you sign your message with an RTF code? Plain text will do just fine.
