Yes I know that's the easiest way but my client's requirement(end goal) is to have a windows-service. So I'm working on it, and yes I think I would have to convert the parts which are still VB6 code. Finally I was thinking the same about the line you mentioned has some issues, let's see I'll try to catch the errors using 'Try Catch'. Thank you! :)

Thank you Richard for your ideas, I think it will help me to debug much easier. :)

Is it possible to combine 2 columns and make a row unique? Ex : Combine both "Cus_no & RangeName"

Wow you're amazing Richard. Thank you very much! Can you help me with one more question if possible please and thank you.

I updated my current INSERT queries to

"INSERT INTO {destTableName} ({paramList}) SELECT * FROM NOR_LABOR t1 WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT ID FROM {destTableName} t2 WHERE t2.ID = t1.ID)"

"INSERT INTO {destTableName} ({paramList}) SELECT * FROM Setter_Labor t1 WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT ID FROM {destTableName} t2 WHERE t2.ID = t1.ID)"

"INSERT INTO {destTableName} ({paramList}) SELECT * FROM wrap_labor t1 WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT ID FROM {destTableName} t2 WHERE t2.ID = t1.ID)" so that it won't copy any duplicates from sources to destinations. But it's giving me some exceptions
Exception: Invalid object name 'Setter_Labor'
Exception: Invalid object name 'NOR_LABOR'
Exception: Invalid object name 'wrap_labor'

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much for these valuable advices Richard, will go through these. By the way do you have any idea why does my code doesn't do what it supposed to do?

I'm having some doubts about "ProjectInstaller.vb" file that it might be not complete. Not sure whether I'm doing the right thing.

Richard,

I think I was not clear when asking the question, my apologies. The windows service does not has to run & stop every 5 mins, all I want is the service to run continuously and detect changes(new instances/ new data) which was added to the DB within last 5 minutes(only grabs the data which was not posted from the last time service check). Is it not possible for a windows service to do using the "OnStart", "OnStop" and by using Sleep function in thread after each loop?
Thank you!

Hi Sean,

I was able to create a simple windows service as per you can see my code above. But what I'm trying to do is create a windows service that listens to the DB's and logs to a txt file with new data that has been added within last 5 mins. The service should run every 5 mins. Thanks
