This occurs when using VB4. Microsoft added scrollable cursors to SQL Server and VB4 expects the correct reply from the ODBC driver when any ODBC call is made. If the ODBC driver does not take this into account the mouse gets blown away. The only fix I know of is to contact your ODBC supplier and get the latest version.

The problem was caused by Microsoft not Intersolv but the ODBC vendors were left holding the baby!

It affected all databases exept SQL Server
