Hi Kristen: > I'm jumping in here late, so I haven't seen previous posts.

I just conducted another test of my process, this time not even creating the SQL INSERT string in the program, but just trying to read every record from the input file and just writing a count of records to the file. It worked, much to my surprise and pleasure. But then, when I put back the code to build the string, it timed out again. I'm starting to believe that I'm either using up some resource that isn't being released, or that the directive you mentioned, LimitRequestSize, is being trounced upon. Any ideas on how to find out the value currently set for this directive? Or how I can override it? Can I override it within my own .htaccess file? Thanks for the suggestion!
