    LOL. Thanks for all the help anyway. I may be leaving this job soon, so I don't know if you'll hear from me again. But from what I understand, the new job may have me working in Qt also, so you may not be rid of me yet.

    Please use CODE tags when posting source code so it is more readable. Click "Go Advanced" and then the "#" icon to insert the tags. Paste your code between them.

    I had a command line server program written, and I thought it would just be a matter of adding/changing a few lines of code to make it a QtService. Didn't work. I tried making a blank one from scratch in Visual Studio 2013. Started out I made a command line (QCoreApplication) project. Then I tried to create an empty service using add class. Named the class MyService (I had to call it something) made the base class QCoreApplication, left constructor signature blank. Once created, I put all the appropriate values in the constructor. I then added "qtservice.h" and added the code to make it a QtService<QCoreApplication>.
    Then I added all the virtual functions. I left them as empty functions. What it looks like when the compile fails is that QtService<QCoreApplication> is not inheriting QObject. A while back I made a gui service but you can't do that anymore so it got scrapped but I still have the code. On that one I used QtWidgets/QApplication to make an application and then changed the .h and .cpp files to match a QtService, included the .h file, and added the necessary functions (start, stop, etc.) and it compiled fine. I checked the project settings and they are all set to include qtservice. I also tried it with and without Q_OBJECT* at the beginning of the class. What am I doing wrong? added this after post. I'm getting error C2039 staticMetaObject is not a member of QtService<QCoreApplication>. When I looked it up online it said in several places that it's not inheriting QObject.
    but what exactly was the C2039 error?
    because I have always found this error
