Hi Don,

=SQLSETPROP(0,"connectiontimeout",120)
USE  remote_view....

>I am using DNS less connections by "USE"ing a dbc view with a connection string. When accessing sqlserver across a WAN, I get a timeout in 15 seconds (which is the default). I have been unable to find a way to make the odbc driver wait longer for a response. I tried adding "connectiontimeout = 120" to the connection string, but it gets passed on to sqlserver which rejects it.
