execution of the asp page caused the response buffer to exceed its configured limit.

[T0tal L0$$]

I was creating some web reports for a remote site and I get this error when the number of records are returning more data.(above 3000 records)

Response object, ASP 0251 (0x80004005)
Execution of the ASP page caused the Response Buffer to exceed its configured limit.

The page loads 3000+ rows of data to drop down menu. When I added Reponse.Flush() to the drop-down loop the page loaded fine, though it took several minutes to load the page, how do i can rectify this? Any body help me?

You need to Change the AspBufferingLimit setting in Metabase.xml to a larger size. The default value is 4194304, which is about 4 MB. it may be a good option to look into something other then the dropdown and or a method of reloading the drop down based on the user events. Change this to whatever limit is reasonable for the types of files your users will be attaching.

Open the IIS Manager on your Reporting Point. Double-click on the local computer and then drill down to and open the Default Web Site properties. Web listboxes are for small sets - several hundreds of items tops. For anything above that, it is better to find alternative ways like checking after submit (when acceptable) or data picker with popup/modal window or that XMLHTTP/AJAX thing. You do not need to stop IIS for the metabase.xml editing, but to make the Metabase.xml file write-able.

you need to go to the IIS control panel, right click the server, select properties, and check off the box that says “allow changes to MetaBase configuration while IIS is running. Select the Home Directory tab and click on the Configuration button and then the Options tab. In the Application Configuration section increase the Asp Script Timeout value to 180 sec. The default is 90.
