Hi Gary,

Thanks!!
If I run same query in PL_SQL no problem without touching any timers.  
Asked our DBA and they checked the ORACLE logon and there were no login
limits.
So we checked the SQLNET.ORA file and the SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME=0.
I set the registry to 6000.

Just out of curiosity what do you have in the TOOLS OPTIONS ADVANCED
settings
	Enable DDe refresh
	OLE/DDE timeout 300
	REfresh interval 60
	Number of update retries 2
	Odbc refresh interval  1500
	Update retry interval 250
	Record level locking 

This is so strange. Will try looking at ms forums maybe something there.
Thanks
