I understand the problems are different, but the solution is the same. For some reason my library server does not start reliably, but by starting MC with the task scheduler, the library server also starts running. So, the task scheduler solution does address my problem. I implemented it and it seems to be working. Having it start automatically saves me form having to remember to start up MC by hand. The hardest thing was getting a work around to automatically get by the pop-up to allow the program to make changes to the system. But, I have gotten around that. I will continue to monitor, but it seems to be working at this point. I am very happy that your solution also worked for me. Thanks to you and to Glynor.
