Do it off-line. What are you importing to and from - there may be a quicker method? [/quote] I am importing from Dataflex using an ODBC driver. I am doing it offline in the sense that it is on an intranet, definitely not a public script. This is the most efficient method that I have found so far; any other transfer options cost a whole lot of money because of the unique nature of DataFlex. As I'm writing this, I am realizing that I could maybe use Access with the same ODBC driver.... and make something work that way.... Anyway, I am still curious as to how to get rid of this cgi timeout error. In the meantime, I will either use a local Apache server on the same network or try some Access methods. thanks!
