I'm trying out the Run As Service AX as a possible OEM solution.  The application has a user interface and I've attempted to set up things per the demos.  I am able to get the application to run as a service with no problem running under a system local account.  However, whenever I log out of the current account which is showing the application form, the form receives a Form Close event and this kills the service -- when I log on again the service is stopped.  I've tried to Cancel the close in the C# Form_Closing event, but that prevents the logoff from taking place at all.

I've used a very old ServiceMill Active-x control in the past so am familiar with the techniques.  I figure I must be missing something simple or this should work as it did for that control.  With the ServiceMill control, I simply "hid" the form and allowed the remaining close action to take place.  That dosen't seem to work here, the service is still stopped.

Any suggestions.  I need to solve this before I can buy the product for the OEM solution. 

Thanks.
