We have a VB app using MSDAORA.DLL that doesn't seem to be disconnecting from the DB even though we have a connection close command in the VB program. Any of you seen something like this? We're eating up our "OPEN_CURSOR" count for this session as it process a lot of events and then finally errors out. I really think the problem is that the "OpenConnection" command from VB isn't getting sucessfully closed and reconnected. Thoughts?
