I got this error message: error 'ASP 0113' /convertups.asp The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeOut or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.
I'm running personal web server on win 98 and need to know how to reset the ScriptTimeOut or reset it within my script. Any Ideas? Thanks. |

Well, it's not the server, it's the script that requires actions. You should revisit it as it is something wrong. My bet is that you have a never ending loop or something. ------------- Cristian Banu http://www.soft4web.ro - Soft 4 web |

At the top of your asp code, you can put server.scripttimeout = xxx where xxx = number of seconds before timing out. zaboss is right though, probably a bad script to begin with. Only time I ever saw a valid need for it was when sending large mailing lists, or when walking a very large directory tree to set permissions. ------------- 
Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me. |

| The script was executing just fine (no infinite loops). The problem is that it wasn't very efficient to it would take a long time to get everything done. I found a lot more efficient way to program it so it doesn't time out anymore. I'll file this away for future use though. Thanks |
