Before you edit the registry, you should first make a backup copy of the
registry files (System.dat and User.dat). Both are hidden files in the
Windows folder.
MORE INFORMATION
When you're using an ODBC database, such as Microsoft SQL Server, there may
be delays because of network traffic or heavy use of the ODBC server.
Rather than waiting indefinitely, you can specify how long to wait before
the Microsoft Jet database engine produces an error. The default
QueryTimeout property setting is 60 seconds. This setting may not be long
enough to allow some queries to run against ODBC data sources. The
following two methods demonstrate how to change the QueryTimeout property.
Method 1Create a subroutine to set the property.Create and run the following subroutine when you open your database:
Once this property is set, it overrides any Windows Registry setting or default value. NOTE: If you are having any problems with the QueryTimeout property, you may need to upgrade to the most current version of the Microsoft Jet database engine for your version of Microsoft Access. Until then, if you are having problems with CurrentDB.QueryTimeout, you could also try using DBEngine (0)(0). However, it is recommended that you have the current version of the Microsoft Jet database engine. For information on how to obtain Microsoft Jet 3.51, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q172733 ACC97: Updated Version of Microsoft Jet 3.5 Available for Download Example Using DBEngine
Method 2Set the property in the Registry.WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing Keys And Values online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Note that you should make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat) before you edit the registry. Using Microsoft Access 97
