ODBCTimeout and QueryTimeout Properties Example
This example uses the ODBCTimeout and QueryTimeout properties to show how the QueryTimeout setting on a Database object sets the default ODBCTimeout setting on any QueryDef objects created from the Database object.
Sub ODBCTimeoutX()
Dim dbsCurrent As Database
Dim qdfStores As QueryDef
Dim rstStores As Recordset
Set dbsCurrent = OpenDatabase("Northwind.mdb")
' Change the default QueryTimeout of the Northwind
' database.
Debug.Print "Default QueryTimeout of Database: " & _
dbsCurrent.QueryTimeout
dbsCurrent.QueryTimeout = 30
Debug.Print "New QueryTimeout of Database: " & _
dbsCurrent.QueryTimeout
' Create a new QueryDef object.
Set qdfStores = dbsCurrent.CreateQueryDef("Stores", _
"SELECT * FROM stores")
qdfStores.Connect = _
"ODBC;DATABASE=pubs;UID=sa;PWD=;DSN=Publishers"
' Change the ODBCTimeout setting of the new QueryDef
' object from its default setting.
Debug.Print "Default ODBCTimeout of QueryDef: " & _
qdfStores.ODBCTimeout
qdfStores.ODBCTimeout = 0
Debug.Print "New ODBCTimeout of QueryDef: " & _
qdfStores.ODBCTimeout
' Execute the query and display the results.
Set rstStores = qdfStores.OpenRecordset()
Debug.Print "Contents of recordset:"
With rstStores
Do While Not .EOF
Debug.Print , .Fields(0), .Fields(1)
.MoveNext
Loop
.Close
End With
' Delete new QueryDef because this is a demonstration.
dbsCurrent.QueryDefs.Delete qdfStores.Name
dbsCurrent.Close
End Sub
