The thing is, when I run the same application accessing database from
the local server (LAN), I don't have the VB 3669 error, and the
additional 'Select * from' does not exist in the log file. However, if
i'm accessing database from remote server (WAN), it causes the VB
error and there's additional 'select * from' in the log file! Apart
from the differences in the data, both database table definitions are
identical.

FYI, the source of the recordset in VB is SQL statement.
