I have a named event object (created via CreateEvent) that
is created in the context of a service. I would like to
obtain access to the event object from another process
(call it process xyz) so that process xyz can set the
event. However process xyz always has an error code
5, 'access is denied', return from any attempt to obtain
the event handle either via OpenEvent or CreateEvent. It
looks like I have to something with the security
descriptors involved with the event object but I'm not
sure what. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Wayne
