I could try, but the same class runs fine in a normal application. I've used in many services wihout problems. Only now, it has to connect to a webservice first before connecting to an application server. Logon to this application server works on de second retry (3rd try) >From then on, it works perfect .. The only difference maybe the owner of the class. The class has a constructor Create(AOwner: TComponent) In the program version, I use Create(Form1) In de service, I've tested with Create(nil) and Create(UaClient) - (service) with the same result
