I have a visual basic 6 that relies on internet connectivity. &nbsp;We use it to time races (5k, marathon, triathlon, etc). &nbsp;I use the following connection string to my server:<br />
<br />
srvr_conn.Open &quot;Provider=SQLNCLI10;Server<wbr />=216.185.1<wbr />99.1,1433\<wbr />SQLExpress<wbr />;Database=<wbr />db;Uid=uid<wbr />;Pwd=pwd;&quot;<wbr /><br />

How long will this connection stay open? &nbsp;Is that a server setting?

I have a visual basic 6 that relies on internet connectivity.  We use it to time races (5k, marathon, triathlon, etc).  I use the following connection string to my server:

srvr_conn.Open "Provider=SQLNCLI10;Server=216.185.199.1,1433\SQLExpress;Database=db;Uid=uid;Pwd=pwd;"

How long will this connection stay open?  Is that a server setting?
