what might be the course of this error

error 'ASP 0113'
Script timed out

/News.asp

The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeOut or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.

fanny enough ,i am able to view other asp page without any hassles.
pls help
:confused:

Basically, the problem is that the code is running for so long, it's timed out.could be that you have an endless loop in your code but without seing it, there is no way to tell. if you could post it, I should be able to tell you whats wrong.

yep, its defiantely, a infiante looping problem. you have this code here

do until rst.eof
strname=rst("LekgName")
strtype=rst("Date")
strRegid=rst("Annby")
strday=rst("News")
loop

but you have not got a recordset.movenext so it is not breaking out of that loop.

Looking at your code more, I think you want it like this

Code:

---

<%@Language = vbscript%>
<%

Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=servername;Persist Security Info=False;UID=?"
objConn.Open
objConn.DefaultDatabase = "dbName"

Set cmd= Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Set cmd.ActiveConnection = objConn

cmd.CommandText = "SELECT Registration_ID, LekgName, date, AnnBy, News FROM LekgotlaNews WHERE Registration_ID = ?"

cmd.parameters(0)=session("session name")

Set rst = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Set rst = cmd.Execute

cmd.Execute

If rst.EOF then
Response.ReDirect "http://url name/NewsResponse.asp"
Else
do until rst.eof
strname=rst("LekgName")
strtype=rst("Date")
strRegid=rst("Annby")
strday=rst("News")

<tr>
<td width="25%"><font size="1" face="Verdana">Lekgotla Name:</font></td>
<td width="75%"><font size="1" face="Verdana"><%=strname%></font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="25%"><font size="1" face="Verdana">Date:</font></td>
<td width="75%"><font size="1" face="Verdana"><%=strtype%></font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="25%"><font size="1" face="Verdana">Announced By:</font></td>
<td width="75%"><font size="1" face="Verdana"><%=strRegid%></font></td>
</tr>

<%
rst.movenext
loop
End If
%>

The course of this error is towards infinity for reasons Ian explained already
