lock request time out period exceded

Hi,

while my db is executing a store procedure i try to view the current activity in the managent but it returns to me 'Lock request time out period exceded'. It happens until the store procedure is finished. After that everything is ok. However i can see the activity executing sp_who and the db seems to work ok, maybe a little slow.

what does it means??

Sorry for my english.
Thanks. EduardoYou should understand the database engine's locking mechanism. Your stored procedures probably is modifying your data, which means an exclusive lock. If you or another process is trying to view the data, the engine tries to get a shared lock. Since there is already an exclusive lock, the request for getting the shared lock expires, which is shown to you.sql
