    Hi All,
    Something has changed, I am no longer getting my project to run on restart now.
    All of the start-up commands are correct, if i run the option from the Windows Scheduler it works fine, but only if toolkit is running and connected. If i set toolkit with my project connected and then reset the PC, it won't connect, The project network in Toolkit is closed, and the Schedule Plus project won't connect, it is showing the option selected in the menu so i know it is running the command but because the project in Toolkit isn't connected to the network Schedule Plus can't connect.
    This is all very strange as it was previously working. I even reloaded the whole PC from scratch an still get the same result.
    I t seems like i need Toolkit to load on start-up and connect to the network before the Schedule Plus program works.
    If I'm not resetting the PC all connections and set-up work perfectly.
    So is there a way to start Toolkit with command line options to select and open the network i need on every reset of the PC.

    Regards
    Trevor

    Sounds like your Cgate service has stopped. Toolkit will open Cgate for you if it doesn't find the service running.

    Just a quick update,
    After restarting the PC and it not connecting to the network, i uncheck the connect to cbus network option in the menu then go to the project options and using the back arrow i then select the project to use and click ok it will connect ok. I didn't change the network name just had it reinitialised i suppose. And that then works ok.
