I think Ken is referring to PFMBTO, which I guess stands for PF Message Box Time Out, which sure sounds like what you are experiencing.<br>
<br>
But what are the chances of that environmental variable getting set on your server without you knowing about it?<br>

<br>
There is an environment variable that controls error messages auto closing check and see if there is something similar for msgbox or that variable impacts msgbox.<br>
