My problem is that after the time out expires, I still get access to the SQL Server using the same connecting handle. And I was expecting an Access Denied or some other problem.

The guy in the foxite message had a problem that after the time out expired he was getting access denied message. This is what I expected too but not getting.

But I will re-read the messages on foxite again to see if it sheds the light on my problem.

Thank you.

>>>>>>Thank you, Gregory. But what I don't understand is when I set theIdleTimeoutt to 10 and then wait a minute (greater than 10 seconds) and then call SQLEXE() with the connection handle I get no error and the data is returned. The way I understandIdleTimeoutt (from you message and the VFP Help) is the handle obtained initially should be invalid and I should get an error. What am I missing?
