Basically, you can change the timeout at any point, but I usually do it after the open. After I check if the connection actually occured or not. (I think I changed it so that before a open and after a close some of the settings were reset for safety reasons. So timeout may be invalidated if used before an open. I'm not positive about that however.) <cfset obj.timeout=60.000> .. should do it. Note that timeout is not how long the ENTIRE transaction has before it's forciably terminated. It's how long a peroid it will sit there if nothing is coming in. If the remote server sends a single character every 59 seconds, it'll just keep accumulating for a while. :) (There are a few parms you can set to force it stop but those are really only for extreme circumstances involving streaming media.) --min ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
