I have a VB program using RDO to access an SQL 6.5 database. Most works great, but I have two stored procedures to run in the middle of the program that can take a while (30 mins or more) to finish. I keep getting timeouts after about 15 sec no matter what I try. I have set the timeout in the rdoConnection to 0 and the max (2147483647), and tried the same with rdoDefaultLoginTimeout. I have also set the ODBC long-running query to its max (99999, I think), and turned it off. These procedures must be complete before the program resumes, so asych isn't an option. anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
