Problem of running sp through VB

Hi,
I have a sp running well manually in SQL analyzer. This sp is using BCP to
archive data from SQL tables to datafiles.
The problem is if the sp is run through VB and a table has lot of data, the
process will stop after exec bcp(datafile is created) and doesn't go through
other part of the sp. VB part doesn't get any error. If all the tables dealt
with don't have too many data, it works well.
Any suggesting will be appreciatedYou might want to increase your CommandTimeout to greater than 30 seconds.

right?

for any external calls via xp_cmdshell until it returns. If there is
something wrong at the system level and xp_cmdshell hangs, SQL would not
know about it.

Try downloading ntpmon/ntfilmon from sysinternals to see what's going. Also,
use "-e" flag of bcp to capture any eror.

between running a sp in SQL query analyzer and through VB.
