VC++ wizard help

[vancouy]

I am assigned a job to perform some operations with database on the background only. No visual interface is required.
I was suggested to write a windows service for this. But finally ended up to write an executable to perform the operations when it is run.
Can someone please let me know the steps to be carried out from the beginning. I am not even sure to select the correct project in VC++ wizard.
Please let me know which wizard to select and which class to start coding (like main()) after the initial files are setup by the wizard. How to finally finishup and run the executable with some input parameters.

I started but couldnt figure out (in new project) if I have to write in MFC appwizard exe or win32 application or atl exe...

I appreciate any help...

Create a Win32 Console App. Then start adding your code to the main() function.
