Hi,
I am to write a windows NT/ Windows 98 Service to monitor all print jobs and catch the information to a database. Can I build a service with VB?

MS recommends that you do NOT use VB to write a service. This is documented in MSDN (unfortunately, I don't remember the exact location).
Still, you can turn any executable into a service by using the SRVANY tool from the Resource kit.
