Should I use ExecuteNonQuery for this db backup command

Try it. it resolved timeout expired problem while large size db.

Private Sub Command1_Click() On Error Resume Next Dim con As New Connection Dim tm As String con.CommandTimeout = 500'''Command timeout should be 500

With con .ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=sa;Initial Catalog=dbiBMS;Data Source=192.168.103.4" .Open End With tm = CStr(Time)

con.Execute " backup database dbiBMS to disk='E:\Database_Backup\Test1.bak' with format "

con.Close MsgBox tm Exit Sub x: MsgBox Err.Description

End Sub
