Re: Antw: Re: VBA 6 crashes with WIN2K, Postgres 8.1,

What type of cursor are you using.
The sample in the MSDN (VB6 era help) says to use Client side cursor to enable AbsolutePosition,
AbsolutePage.

I guess it makes sense. A server side cursor is a pointer to records on the server. A ForwardOnly cursor
pulls back the recordset but only gives you a pointer to it, but doesn't know how many records are in the
set or how to page it before it has gone to the end -- and it can't go backward.

rule of thumb -- use:
rsCursorLocation = adUseClient
rs.open sql, cnn, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText ---- or something close to this

rs.Open sql, cnn -- also works
