I need a little clarification on the difference between
a 'static' cursor type and a 'dynamic' cursor type on a connection.

Consider if I were stepping through a recordset with a dynamic cursor type using the objRecordSet.MoveNext command. If I had stepped through the first two records using objRecordSet.MoveNext and another seperate session updated a value in one of the fields in the third record; would I see the effect of that update if I performed my objRecordSet.MoveNext just after the seperate session had updated the record?

I think a static cursor type would retain the values from before the seperate session had updated the third record.

Am I correct about these assumptions?

many Thanks.
 
I believe that is correct, though, I will admit I am not an expert on this. Insanity is merely a state of mind while crazy people have a mind of their own.
