How do you increase the timeout for the page?
To avoid this error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

First, I think you posted this on the wrong forum.

Second, that type of error normally means that there's something wrong with either some slow code that needs to be reworked or someone has a lock in the database preventing further access by others. Increasing the timeout rarely works as expected.

Where do you suggest one can find the answer to my question?

If it's on the GUI side that you want to do this, then I'm not sure.

If it's on the SQL Server side of the house, a trip to Books Online will reveal all.

On the SQL side it's not a problem because the queries run ok in query analyzer....

The GUI is an issue...will have to keep looking...

Thanks anyway...
