I found the problem, and this will show up in MarcEdit 6.3 (you must have an old version).  I believe that the z39.50 server is configured incorrectly on the icarli end, because this works on other voyager setups.  But the problem - the old code use to make a request and not set a limit on the connection (# of records to return).  This meant that requests were slower because the server returns a result count, and creates a result queue.  If that results queue was especially large - the server may have to queue 1000, 10,000 or 100,000 records if the search was that vague.  To prevent that, I set a connection option that specifies the limit.  The problem we are running into is that if that limit option is set, the carli z39.50 connection is crashing, and being reported as a lost connection in MarcEdit.  

This code was added some time ago, which is why I'm assuming you are using an older version of MarcEdit 6.  I already have an error trap that removes specific connection properties (because the same thing can happen with the characterset properties) -- I can add this to the cascade.  However, I would actually recommend fixing the Z39.50 setup because the behavior (the way it crashes the connection) is not normal or standard.

Do you mean you get the same error that i did or an different error? I can get it to work in version 6 over and over, just not version 7. 

Is it specific to the CARLI databases do you think? I dont know what to do to figure out what the problem is. In case it helps I have attached screenshots of my settings for version 6 that works.
