I am sorry to ask a newbie question but I am hoping someone might be able to show/explain this to me.

Scenerio is as follows

I have succeded in importing my foxpro table using the upsize wizard
to SQL Express. All my records are there. just under 90,000 total.

I then attempt to set a PK and Identity Column using the Studio
Manager. I get the following error message when I try to save
the changes.


'contact1' table
- Unable to create index 'PK_contact1'.
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Could not create constraint.

I would like to mention when I following the same procedure
with just a 1000 records everything works fine.

Most of the reading I have done and looked up on google all point
to the .NET or the application I am developing is the root cause.
But in this case I am using the SQL Studio Manager to setup with
and have not been able to find a clear answer how to change the
timeout in the Studio Manager

Any help would be great. I will keep reading but I could really
use a pointer here if someone can share..

Thanks again.

I was able to find the answer to this. In case someone else may run into this.

When you first load the Studio Manager - Select the Options
button. You can change the connection time there. For testing
I set mine to 9999 and everything worked fine after that.

Hope this helps another...
