Query time out while inserting data

Hi guys,
when inserting data in a table i am getting the following
error:
Error : -2147217871
Source : Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Descripion : Timeout expired
Help Context : 1000440
The data is added through a stored procedure which is
called under MTS from a dll which in turn is accessed
through a ASP page.
The table has arround 150,000 records. This is not a bluk
insert. Why am i getting this error, is this a locking
problem?
Please reply ASAP
Thanking you.Could be a locking problem. Use EM, Current Activity, Profiler, sp_who, sp_who2 and sp_lock to
troubleshoot.

Did you check out sp_addlimked server? There's a section on text files...

BOL

H. Use the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Jet to access a text file
This example creates a linked server for directly accessing text files, without linking the files as tables in an Access .mdb file. The provider is Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 and the provider string is 'Text'.

The data source is the full pathname of the directory that contains the text files. A schema.ini file, which describes the structure of the text files, must exist in the same directory as the text files. For more information about creating a schema.ini file, refer to Jet Database Engine documentation.

--Create a linked server
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver txtsrv, 'Jet 4.0',
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'c:\data\distqry',
NULL,
'Text'
GO
