It's possible that the server only accepts a range of reasonable timeout settings, and won't respond if you set it outside of that range. You might want to use SQLGETPROP to confirm the setting "took" and try it with settings of 5 seconds or 10 seconds to see if you get different behavior. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
