Thanks Kevin,

I tried your solution. I added a DataAccessSql class for my view and I added

Imports System.Data.SqlClient
at the top and

Protected CommandTimeout As Integer = 120

just inside under the "Inherits mmDataAccessSql" of the class declaration.

I then added the VB version of FillDataSet() from mmDataAccessSql, adding your change with the CommandTimeout:

Public Overrides Sub FillDataSet(ByVal ds As DataSet, ByVal dbAdapter As IDbDataAdapter, _
ByVal tableName As String, ByVal clearOnFill As Boolean)

' If the Select command's connection is null, use the existing connection
' associated with the data access class, or create a new one
If dbAdapter.SelectCommand.Connection Is Nothing Then
If Me.Connection Is Nothing Then
Me.Connection = Me.CreateSqlConnection()
End If

dbAdapter.SelectCommand.Connection = Me.Connection
dbAdapter.SelectCommand.CommandTimeout = Me.CommandTimeout
End If

' Specify that column and primary key information is added to the DataTable
dbAdapter.MissingSchemaAction = MissingSchemaAction.AddWithKey

' If specified to do so, Translate any parameters for the specified .NET Data Provider
If Me.ParameterTranslation Then
Me.TranslateParameters(dbAdapter.SelectCommand)
End If

' Cast the data adapter then use it to fill the DataSet
Dim adapter As SqlDataAdapter = CType(dbAdapter, SqlDataAdapter)

' If specified to do so and the table already exists, clear it
If clearOnFill Then
Dim dt As DataTable = ds.Tables(tableName)

If Not dt Is Nothing Then
dt.Clear()
End If
End If

' Fill the specified table in the DataSet
adapter.Fill(ds, tableName)

' Store the current select command for the current table in the
' DataTable's extended properties
Me.SaveSelectCommand(ds, tableName, dbAdapter)
End Sub


When I try to compile I get an Error:

'Public Overrides Sub FillDataSet(ds As System.Data.DataSet, dbAdapter As System.Data.IDbDataAdapter, tableName As String, clearOnFill As Boolean)' cannot shadow a method declared 'MustOverride'.

followed by a warning:

sub 'FillDataSet' shadows an overloadable member declared in the base class 'mmDataAccessSql'. If you want to overload the base method, this method must be declared 'Overloads'.

If I change the Sub to Overloads Overrides it will compile but not be called. How do I get rid of the compiler error yet have my subroutine override the base class?

Thanks,
Max...
