Help: Query Timeout Expired

Hi,
I have a long running view (counting over 2,000,000 records) that regurns
"[ODBC SQL Server Driver] Timeout Expired" error after about 30 seconds.
Can somebody tell me how to increase the timeout period for running View?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
YeeYee,
were are you running the view from , EM? If you are don't. Try running it
from QA.
Timeouts are a client connection issue and can be adjusted via your ODBC
connection details, they are not a server problem.
I hope this helps
regards

The timeout may haeepn in several place. You can change it by T-SQL for
database or in the ADO for for ODBC.
Because you do not let us know what kind of operation you are doing.
What I can do is give some suggestion.
For database, you can type "timeout" in book online then you can get
information of how to set the timeout property in diffirent situation
For ODBC you can see this link and see the timeout part.

I was managed to get it to run once earlier on though. It seems that the
timing the first row got returned is important here.

Both gives the same error. I tried various things suggested in the help
file, including using sp_configure.
I also found the following from book online. The error message is what I
got - but I could not find the Tool->option screen mentioned below. Can you
shed any light?

ODBC error text
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Timeout expired.
Explanation
The timeout can occur when you're updating the database with any
Transact-SQL changes.
Action
a.. Try again later to save the diagram or selected tables.
b.. Save a change script and apply it to the database at a later time.
c.. Increase the SQL Query Time-out value and try to save the diagram or
selected tables again.
To increase the SQL Query Time-out value
1.. From the Tools menu, choose Options.
2.. In the left pane, click Data Tools, and then click Data View.
3.. Type a new value in the SQL query time-out box.

Also the link that you suggested:
ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/MS.MSDNQTR.2003JUL.1033/dnodbc/html/odbcsql.htm
- can you tell me how to get there?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards,
Yee
