I've got a daily DTS pull scheduled through SQL Agent that occasionally hangs. It pulls several tables from an Access database application across the network. For some reason, it will hang in the "executing step 1" stage and has to be manually stopped.

Is there a way on a job to kill a job that exceeds a specified amount of time? This only happens about once every two months but it does cause some locking issues for the users during the daytime.

Thanks
