title: Query Timeout Settings in Excel
body: <p>new to the site I'd like to give it a shot and see if I can get any answers regarding SQL Querys in Excel.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to handle if a Timeout occurs in Microsoft Excel (mostly 2007/2010 on Win XP/Vista/7)? As you know you can connect Excel to a Microsoft SQL Server and run your query via Excel. The only thing is that I don't seem to find any Timeout options for this. And for an example, if there is a bad query, this might lock other tables in the SQL Server (2005) database.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not looking for a script. It's more like settings I need and if possible I would like to add these Timeout settings to a specific Windows user account. Settings in either SQL Server 2005 or in Microsoft Excel 2007/2010.</p>
  
  <p>Best regards
