Thanks for the suggestion

I have changed my application to create a record in the table using the 'Insert Into <table> (a,b,c) Values (1,2,3)' statement. And then used a select statement...

Purely insert a single row?

Am I opening the table in the wrong way?

I am using the AppendChunk method to read the file data into the image field.

Thanks

Thanks thats fixed it (sort of).

I had tried increasing the ConnectionTimeout but hadn't tried CommandTimeout.

I say sort of fixed because it's taking longer to insert new records to the table....
