Inconsistand execution of SISS Package

Hi

Can someone please help?

I have a small package that makes an OLDB connection to my local 2005 SQL server then does some processing and places the results in a text file as XML

I have created a stored proc that uses xp_cmdshell to call the package and pass a paramter to it.

It all works fine when I call it from the command line or execute the stored proc from SQL Management Studio or if I call it as part of a SQL Agent job, but when it is called from C# from an ASP page then it fails with a timeout error.

Even stanger is the fact that when there is no data there for it to process it runs OK so I dont think it is permissions but the size of the output file only has to be a couple of k for it to fail from the ASP page.

If we comment out some of the functions in the package then it will execute OK from ASP

Help Whats going on ?

Got a work around for it at the moment. I created an agent job which starts the package then used sp_start_job in my application to start the job and hence the package and it all works OK

Would like to know why I cant get it to work directly from the application though

Cheers
