Timeout Script

[JTBorton]

I'm trying to connect one of my variables to a server, but sometimes it takes FOR EVER and locks everything up in the process. Unfortunately all control is passed to the connect method of the object. Is there some way to override this control and force it to stop after a certain period of time? There is no time out parameter in the connect method.

syntax: OPCServer.Connect(ProgID As String, [Node])

    svrDALamar.Connect strcProgID, strcNode

Hi,

Check the configuration of the DRIVER for that server/db. There may be a timeout argument that you can assign.

Oh, thanks Skip. I'll get with IT and see if they can do something for me. Maybe if I bring them some kolaches and donuts...
