SYMPTOMS
========
Updates to a TextBox control that is bound to a Remote Data control fail to
update in certain instances. This behavior occurs when you use a cursor type of

off the edited row.
RESOLUTION
==========
There are several possible workarounds for this problem:
- Use a server-side cursor for your data access.
- Call the MoveNext method before calling BatchUpdate.
- Call the UpdateRow method before calling BatchUpdate.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
The following code uses an ODBC Datasource named Pubs that connects to the Pubs
database in SQL Server.
1. In Visual Basic, create a new Standard EXE project. Form1 is added to the
project by default.
2. From the Project menu, click to select Components. From the list of available
Components, select Microsoft Remote Data Control 6.0.
3. Place a Remote DataControl, a Textbox, and a CommandButton control onto
Form1. MSRDC1, Text1, and Command1 are created by default.
4. Set the following properties for MSRDC1:
DataSourceName: Pubs
SQL: SELECT * From Titles
CursorDriver: 3 - rdUseClientBatch
LockType: 5 - rdConcurBatch
Prompt: 1 - rdDriverNoPrompt
5. Set the following properties for Text1:
DataSource: MSRDC1
DataField: Title
6. Add the following code to Form1's Code Window:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Command1_Click()
' MSRDC1.UpdateRow
MSRDC1.Resultset.BatchUpdate
MSRDC1.Refresh
End Sub
7. Run the code. Change the value in Text1, click Command1, and note how the old
value returns to the box. Uncomment the UpdateRow line of code, and note that
the data remains in the box and is updated back to the database.
