Server Busy Error

Every once in a while during my OLE, I get a server busy message with three buttons, switch to, retry, and cancel (greyed out).

I have read that using the App.OLEServerBusyTimeOut = 9999999 would increase the time to a point that this error would not occur, but when I tried it, I still go the error.

Anyone have a idea of how to suppress this error message?

Thanks.

  • Thanks Kevo.

    I know it has been a while since I was able to work on this. We had a rush at the end of 2013 to get our CMM computers updated to Windows7, then there were compatability issues...and so on and so forth. Slight smile

    Now that they seem to want to behave themselves, I have been back on this part of the project.

    What I ended up doing is redoing all my basic scripts into exe files and using the Insert > External Command which opens a box. Browse to find the file you want then use the No Display; Wait radio buttons to get rid of the box completely. It can sit on pause for hours and no boxes, no warnings. ONce it gets its input, it simply continues.

    If you need a free tool to make exe files, I have been using Visual Studio 2012 Express. It is pretty easy. Just remember to use the Windows Console settings.
