Hi Patricia You can set that property using DAO: CurrentDb.QueryDefs("qdyYourQuery").ODBCTimeout = 600 Of course, to carry this out create a loop that somehow filters only those querydefs that have to be modified. /gustav >>> Patricia.O'Connor at otda.state.ny.us 22-08-2006 15:46:57 >>> Hi all Is there a way to set the ODBC timeout default in the query properties from 60 to 6000 permanently? Most of our work is against our ORACLE databases, some Foxpro, and SqlServer. For every new query we do we have to remember to reset this before running otherwise we get a timeout. Does not matter how easy or hard the query is, If it isn't at least 600 then poof it stops. One person said that it would cause their MDB to corrupt but I haven't had that problem. The OPTIONS ADVANCED does not do this. I have looked almost everywhere but can't find out how to change the default. This would be for 2k or 2k3. Any help appreciated Thanks ************************************************** * Patricia O'Connor * Associate Computer Programmer Analyst * OTDA - BDMA * (W) mailto:Patricia.O'Connor at otda.state.ny.us * (w) mailto:aa1160 at nysemail.state.ny.us **************************************************
