Hi,
I have a headache due to the 5 minute timeout limitation of IE. My query takes (you've
guessed) longer than 5 minutes to perform. It is a query that summarises over 2 million rows from
an Oracle 8i database. I am developing an intranet site so the user is prepared to wait 10 mins for
this report to run.
The question is: is there a way of sending something to the browser periodically (so that IE thinks
that all is well!) until I am ready to send the table data back?
Thanks for any help

PS: I know I can add a registry entry ReceiveTimeout; I don't have the luxury of being able to
do this to every user pc (many 100's)
