RE: [MS_AccessPros] Timeout on SQL Query (to SQL tables) built and launched in Access

Have you considered using a pass-through query? This resulting recordset is not updateable but it's much much more efficient.

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] Timeout on SQL Query (to SQL tables) built and launched in Access

I keep getting a SQL timeout error (#3146) on a query built in Access and launched in Access against a couple of SQL Server (2005) tables.
I have tried setting timeout values several ways, but none seem to work.
Does anyone have a foolproof ODBC way to set the timeout to 0 so the query will not timeout?
My most recent attempt is: CurrentDb.QueryTimeout = 600 ' tried 0 also
The query is launched as: docmd.runsql sqlstring, false
Any thoughts?
Thanks
