WOW...... did you tell me or what!!!!!
I must be in the wrong place... you both ASSUMED dot net, but I never
said that (actually mine is a vb6 application)
I really thought people here knew about VBnet web site
Sorry, I misread "VBNet" as "VB.Net" and as I didn't recognize your name I jumped to the wrong conclusion.
Mike is correct that you don't want a service to attempt to raise a GUI element as it's just awkward at best. There are a number of ways to communicate between apps and the mailslot examples are one option. I've also done a couple of services that listen on a TCP/IP port and accept connections only from the local host. The users have an app that runs at startup that connects and can request history, current status, etc and gets notified of any new alerts. The amount and frequency of the info to be sent back and forth would influence the choice of communication.
