Timeout for OLE actions in Excel 2003
 

I'm having an anoying problem with my Excel 2003.
I'm calling a webservices that retrieves a lot of data. It takes about 2 minutes. But before the webservice returns (Code behind C#), I get the warning "Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action".

Is there a way to increase the timeout value for OLE actions in Excel ?

I've tried to make async. calls to the webservice, but with the same result. I'm pretty sure it is an excel issue, and not a .NET problem !
