Hi.

=sqlsetprop(0,'connecttimeout',5)

I understand executing the above statement before using a stringconnect, will set the connection timeout when attempting connection to a remote server to 5 seconds. If the server is not available or the internet connection is down, the time taken is always around 20 seconds regardless of the sqlsetprop setting.

What am I doing wrong? Are there other settings that need adjustment?

Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
