    I did not have the coldfusion mx 7 ODBC Agent running

    Log in to the administrator

    Choose Settings

    Update the timeout and try again.

    I used to see this problem in earlier versions. However, although an error occurred it did indeed carry out the add. If you get the error again, check your data sources and see if it is there

    Another option (which I don't really recommend, but hey, you can try it) is to locate the file (if you can) of the datasources/index.cfm. At the top of the file, place <cfsetting requesttimeout="86400">. If it turns out that file is encrypted you can't carry out this task, if it isn't however give it try (as a last resort - and make a backup first)

    Let us know how it goes.
