Timeout issue

[Peter Longstaff]

Hi All,

I have just developed a web service that takes an ID number as a parameter.
The service then produces an Excel Workbook if it does not already exist.

When I run the service and enter the same parameter from a web page the
service works fine and produces the workbook as expected if the spreadsheet
ha already been created but I get a timeout on the webpage if the
spreadsheeet does not exist, but the service creates the spreadsheet
correctly.

Can anyone shed some light on where I start looking and what timeouts I can
set?

TIA
Peter

The timeout is probably not related to the web components since it creates
fine. You should look to find out what causes the timeout, what exceptions
are thrown or exactly what server error code is returned.
