ADO Timeout Error in Delphi 5

I have an application in Delhpi 5 which runs several stored procedures. It connect via ADOConnection and ADOStoredProc.

I have set the CommandTimeout on the connection to 0 for no timeout. Times out at 30 seconds.

I have set the CommandTimeout on the connection to 3600 for one hour time out. Times out at 30 seconds.

Anything I try times out at 30 seconds.

I can see no where on the ODBC where I might override this setting.

It is timing out at 30 seconds no matter what I do.

Can someone help with this problem?
 
You may want to check your database's default time-out.

Not too long ago, I was working in a D5/DB2 suite of apps and we were running into a similar problem. It turned out to be some of the default settings in the database getting to us.

Thanks for the reply. I found the answer. The Delphi query and stored procedure ADO component CommandTimeout attributes DO NOT WORK. No matter what you set them for you will get a 30 second timeout. To avoid this you must use the Command Component. The CommandTimeout on this component actually works.
