You can override the 30 second default timeout with the CommandTimeout
property of the ADO Command object.

I have a dts package that contains a portion of VB script... every now and
then I get a timed out error message... any ideas ? Any way to increase
the time out within the vbscript ?

Connection.ConnectionTimeout, Connection.CommandTimeout and
Command.CommandTimeout properties are all read/write so you can display
values using the technique below.

Set connection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
MsgBox connection.ConnectionTimeout

Note that ConnectionTimeout and CommandTimeout are different beasts. The
ConnectionTimeout specifies how ling ADO should wait for the connection to
be established, although the actual time may be longer depending on the
cause for the delay.

Connection.CommandTimeout specifies how long a command invoked via
Connection.Execute can run but Command objects to not inherit this setting.
You'll need to set the Command.CommandTimeout separately.

Thanks Dan

I assume a command such as ADOcon.ConnectionTimeout = 60 will work for the
connection as well. Do you know how to return the Connection Timeout value
to a variable in VBscript ? I would like to display it in a message box
for testing purposes.

Thanks again Dan,

If an update is being run in the following fashion and is timing out, should
a Command object be established in its place ?

strSQL = "Update ....."
ADOcon.Execute strSQL

You can either set the CommandTimeout property on the Connection object or
create a Command object and set the CommandTimeout property. Either method
will override the default timeout interval.
