How to Track an Application Failure with Event Log

[Sean]

Is it possible to create a log using Win2K's Event log
that will track when an application fail's and give me
some information to track to determine the error? I have
a VB app that I am running as a service that occasionally
shuts down for no apparent reason.

Is there any listing in the Application Log for the program in question? You could check by going to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer and click on Application Log. Check for any entries of type Error on the days you notice your service shutting down. Simply double-click on the error to get detailed information about what caused it.
