DISCLAIMER: not done this personally, it's ourside my area and it's a while since I read about it. Does your program regain control at any point, or does it just block awaiting the result set? If it does not block, then you could periodically send status info back to the browser. As long as the browser is actually receiving *something* it won't time-out - a bit like server-push content. If your program does block, then try sending something immediately before the call that blocks and see if that helps. Make sure you've turned buffering off otherwise the web server won't send the content straight away and this will negate all of this. -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
