Good morning all<br />
Is there a setting I can increase to see how long VB ( and .NET ) wait before they fail when trying to create a file. It seems to be about 5 seconds at the present. <br />
<br />
Open &quot;\\NEWTON\C$\TESTFILE&quot; For Output As #1<br />
<br />
If the server is very busy eg many reports running, the above line fails ( VB and .NET)<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance

Visual Basic File Open Time Out Settings

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
